Not top posting means to respond to a paragraph or phrase below that
paragraph, as in this example. Top posting means to respond at the
beginning of your post, above the text you are responding to (as you
did), making it harder for people to figure out the context to which
you are responding.

The further down the page the text you are responding to is, the more out
of context your top post is and the harder it is for people to figure
out what you're talking about. Remember, a human mind, though amazing
and powerful, is not a computer - some simple processing tasks are very
taxing for it (unless, perhaps one is autistic).
