Yes, it means posting your reply at the very top of the message, with
all the quoted text at the bottom, rather than selectively quoting
(like I've done here) and including your replies below the relevant
quoted text. Top-posting is generally frowned upon on mailing lists
because it reverses the logical reading order for people who haven't
already read past messages in the thread. It also wastes lots of
space/bandwidth if you just blindly copy the whole original mail in
quotes, rather than just the part you want to reply to.

Hope this explanation helps.
