Hi Etienne... Assuming your message wasn't sarcasm, top posting refers to replying to a message with your response on top: Your response >> original message Bottom posting is the opposite: >> original message Your response. Or, as you'll sometimes see, bottom posters put their response inline with the original post: >> original post point 1 Your response 1 >> original post point 2 Your response 2 etc. In very long threads, the thread is much more easily read if bottom posting is followed, because you read the thread from top to bottom, rather than from bottom up, Hope that helps! If your response was sarcasm, then please ignore this message! -Andy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
