"Bottom posting" is placing your text below (at the bottom of) the text to
which you are replying. "Top posting" is placing your text above (on top of)
the text to which you are replying. There is a religious war about the
sanctity of the one and the total ungodliness of the other. Please don't ask
why. The "third way" is to intersperse your comments within the text, with
each comment immediately below the text to which it relates. Some people
believe this is the Only True Way. It would take skills far beyond those
