This is an example of bottom posting. In other words, my reply is posted

Proper bottom posting includes removing of superfluous text from the previous post; without doing that it is as bad as top posting.

A couple other
things that can get you yelled at on this list is sending html mail and
hijacking a thread. Hijacking is changing the topic being discussed
without changing the subject line.

No, a hijack is attempting to post a new post to a list by hitting reply on any email from the list, changing the subject, and usually also removing the previous content. To the poster it appears as a new email, but it is not: it is a reply, and mail programs record that fact for ever.
