[huge snippage so _maybe_ you see this on your first screen]

"Top posting" means that you are putting your replies always at the top of the 
message text you are replying to.  This screws up the normal order folks read 
stuff in and makes it difficult to properly follow the conversation.

Either use the down arrow as I previously suggested, to put the entry marker 
cursor under the question you are being asked, and enter your answer there, 
or switch email agents to something that can be configured to do so by 
placing the cursors default location at the bottom of the message text being 
replied to.

I suspect that your apparent refusal to do what you are being asked to do here 
is because you aren't even scrolling down through the message to see the 
question.  Winderz habits, a pox on them.

As for Second Life, I've heard of the game, but not the chat agent.  Running 
FC6 here, with kde, and our package manager has no such chat agent available.
