It's an a-rententive obsession on Fedora/Red Hat lists that some people
get just too worked up over. Anyway, it means responding to a message at
the top, rather than below. In the real world, replying on top is done
as a courtesy to make it easy to read new information - so as not to
force the reader to go searching through a mile of much to find what you
have to say.
In theory, bottom posting on a list is supposed to make it easy to deal
with threads - you know, so it becomes easier to deal with a string of
messages. It is a valid point, though some people seem to get abnormally
worked up about. Happy bottom posting.
