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.
