What does "Top-Post" mean? Sorry -- but I am a dimwit willing to learn :-)

To top-post means to place the reply above the previous and quoted message text.

It just makes it more difficult to have a good communication in mailing list threads than necessary. Unfortunately it is most often combined with not stripping the quoted text. There have been long discussions on this list about this topic.

Heads up - this list has a high volume, but I think you will appreciate the amount of feedback you get when having a problem or a question.
