Generally, bottom-posting is the convention here.

The reason you need to know lead pitch is because you need to know what spacing to put the holes in your circuit board. If they're not the same, then you would have to bend the leads, which can lead to stresses, and vibration problems.

Actually, interleaved is the convention here - you respond to each quote snippet in turn, cutting out all the unneeded text to minimize message length. Only when the question is simple does the whole reply go below all the quoted text, and that's just a special case of interleaving.

Top-posting is appropriate syntax when you're referring to, but not replying to, the quoted text. I.e. consider the quoted text to be a footnote or appendix, not a question.

It tells you haw far apart to drill the holes in the circuitboard.

I am not sure what you guys mean by top and bottom post. I guess all of you are using outlook for this. I use Google and I don't face all the little pity things like that. Everything goes in order of post time.

Anyways, thanks for helping...

You are stepping into something pretty old and thus you are the one who needs to learn the ropes before posting, including learning that google groups is not the newsgroups.
