1 *Top Posting* where you position your text at the very top of the
reply ... generally useful in a one-on-one situation, i.e. in an e-mail.
2 *Bottom Posting* where you add your contributions after all that has
gone before .... useful, IMHO, where there might be several replies to
your post before you read the replies, i.e. in a newsgroup!
3. *Interspersed* where you add your comments after each paragraph or
after each question.
Top, bottom and interspersed are for replies to a previous post. If that
previous post is a simple question or statement, and you top post, your reply,
the original question and your reply will probably both be visible on the
page. But, someone else reading your reply will see the answer before the
question. Where it gets difficult to read is where the original post is
lengthy, and you left it all in your reply, and you top posted to one element
of the original post. In that case, the reader reads your answer and than
must go looking for the question you are replying to.
My suggestion is to recognize that you are trying to carry on a conversation,
and format your reply accordingly. After you click reply, the first thing to
do is eliminate everything that you are not going to reply to. This is called
trimming.
Then format what is left of the original post into a form where you can reply
to the individual elements as if you were carrying on a conversation, which
you are. Edit > Rewrap helps here.
Then insert your replies so that your post will read question, answer,
question, answer,,,.
But that's just my opinion.
