Default replying to news group


I'm not real experienced with the newsgroups so I am wondering what the
'rule' is for replying to a message. Is the reply supposed to be at the
beginning or at the end of the message?
Thanks

Hi

Depends on the group.

I prefer bottom posting, like reading a letter, but snipping the
parts you are not replying to.

Read some of the messages to get an idea on how a particular newsgroup posts
replies. There is no 'rule' here. Some top post, some bottom post, and
some post inside the original post. I bottom posted to you because your
message was small and you don't have to scroll past a long message to get to
the reply. In a long post, I sometimes top post so you can see the reply
immediately. In a post with several questions, I space my reply after each
question.

Here's some posting resources:
