Giving the OP the benefit of the doubt (as a non-native English speaker)
he may not understand what is meant by top-posting.

Top-posting means replying to a quoted message *above* the quoted
material instead of below it (or in some cases intermixed with it). It
leads to a confusing mishmash of quotes replying to quotes, especially
with long threads. People are free to do what they want in private
conversations, and the corporate email culture in some companies
encourages top-posting (plus some broken email clients such as
Blackberries make it very difficult to avoid), but on Internet mailing
lists it's widely frowned on, and this list explicitly discourages it in
the Guidelines quoted in every single message posted to the list
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines) so please don't
do it.
