Sorry, I don't know much about mailing list customs - I had to look up what 
top-posting is. I will behave now ... 

I would prefer to keep the complications for when I retrieve the data rather 
then when I store it.

I could imagine something like this though to create a crosstab as an array, 
but I am afraid that there is no assurance that the resulting array would 
contain the values in the same order for each focus:

tbl(eID, aID, value)

Select eID, array_accum(value) from 
(
 (Select Distinct eID from tbl) e
  CROSS JOIN
 (Select Distinct aID from tbl) a
) ea
 LEFT OUTER JOIN
tbl USING (eID, aID)
GROUP BY eID

B.
