Especially if there are dozens of untrimmed quotes above THAT.
My basic rules are:
1: If context isn't important I top post (i.e. if they've posted to 18
mailing lists, I will top post "Please stop spamming every list in the
known universe" at the top. Or stuff like "please post pg version,
postgresql.conf changes, and OS etc.")
2: If a long complex explanation is needed, and it's an answer to the
whole post, I bottom post.
3: If it's a big multi-part question / post, I'll answer inline for each bit.
