I distinctly remember when I came here as a newbie and posted a question. It was you who told me not to top post. I didn't know what it was, so I read up on it and modified my subsequent posts accordingly.
strangely enough it was PT who taught me about top posts also - and I had been top posting for over three years on mailing lists without knowing what it was
Philip was one of the list admins so its natural. I too learnt from him. Initially I thought top posting meant that subject lines cannot be long. So I reduced my subject lines till I could not shrink them further beyond one or two words. Then he privately explained what top posting actually was.
Dialogue scripts follow the top to bottom rule and that is why the reply falls below the original post.
