Actually there are two different philosophies. Top posting works best 
when only a few people are actively involved in the conversation and all 
are actively following the thread. For most exchanges this works very 
well because it mimics a verbal conversation.

Bottom posting is done on lists because someone may not have seen the 
initial post and the context of the answers and other follow up posts. 
The idea is that the thread can be followed with the oldest post on top 
to latest on the bottom as if you are reading a report.

Inline posting is sometimes done when it is easier to answer each issue 
raised.

I did a combination of inline and bottom posting

Also snip is used to indicate that part of the original has been deleted 
by the poster
