Top-posting is typing your reply above the post that you're quoting.
Depending on how people read a newsgroup, this can be a pain to read.
Always put the post your quoting at the TOP of your post or embed your
quotes as I am doing here.

Then that is your problem.  To "connect / as sysdba", the operating
system account that you're logged in as must be part of the DBA group.
