Bottom-posting is putting a reply underneath that being replied to, and 
is considered more conversational, and (should!) lead to consensus the 
futher down one reads: hypothesis, antithesis, synthesis. You'll find it 
used in Academia and other institutions that value peers over hierarchy.

Top-posting is putting the reply above that being replied to, and 
carries the implication that the top-poster has a seniority of some 
sort. "This is what we're going to do (see email below for background)". 
It's more widely used in hierarchical structures such as business, 
government, military.

Best wishes,
