There is a difference between your expectations and people's regular
behaviour.
I personnaly NEVER quoted anyone in a mail before, and i'm using mails
since 2005.
Gmail does not include this function by default, so why should people go
into the trouble of having to search what parameters they have to use for a
feature they never use?
I personnaly never heard of top posting before (i am french so maybe that's
the reason, not sure about that), if you want people to follow certain
guidelines, they should be advertise somewhere imo (like stackoverflow does)
