A simple web search with your favourite browser and your favourite
search engine using the term "top post{,ing}" should take you to this
article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style

more or less immediately. BTW, Bruce's signature line comes from there.

When you started bottom posting, you added your text under Bruce's
signature. At least _my_ email client shows signature lines in light
grey and it is hard to recognise if any new text comes there.

Smart mail clients are able to omit signature lines when you hit
"reply". Thunderbird and KMail did this correctly for some time.
You might want to look in your email client's configuration. If you are
in a linux user group already, the easiest thing may be asking for help
there.

So much for email client rant ;)

I personally built my first few LFS systems (that was 6.3/6.4) more or
less alone, but I had some background already. I would not recommend
LFS as linux "first time", except you're prepared for some pain :)


cheers
