The reason why the old-timers around here are sticky about this is that
we believe we are writing for the mailing list archives. Gmail-style
quoting is indeed the appropriate amount of effort for throwaway threads
that only a few people will read and (probably) none of them will consult
again later. But for threads that (a) will be read by hundreds or
thousands of people right now, and (b) will be searched for in the project
archives some unknowable number of times in future, it is worth spending
extra effort to make the conversation easy to follow.
So on this page PostgreSQL mailing lists there is no mention of top/bottom posting,
One has to go to Mailing Lists - PostgreSQL wiki to find the etiquette.
Seems to me that adding a link to the wiki on the first link makes sense as well as possibly adding it to the subscription message
