when i search what top-post mean:


*top-post*: n., v.
[common] To put the newly-added portion of an email or Usenet response 
before the quoted part, as opposed to the more logical sequence of 
quoted portion first with original following.
*bottom-post*: v.In a news or mail reply, to put the response to a news 
or email message after the quoted content from the parent message. This 
is correct form, and until around 2000 was so universal on the Internet 
that neither the term ‘bottom-post’ nor its antonym /top-post/ 
<http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html> existed. 
Hackers consider that the best practice is actually to excerpt only the 
relevent portions of the parent message, then intersperse the poster's 
response in such a way that each section of response appears directly 
after the excerpt it applies to. This reduces message bulk, keeps thread 
content in a logical order, and facilitates reading.


the best way is to excerpt only the relevent portions of the parent 
message ,not top-post nor bottom-post , right?
