simple join problem - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Sorry for the simple question, but I'm struggling with a join.

I'm creating a view that will show data from 4 tables.  The problem is, I
want the view to show a record for every entry in the "users" table, even if
there is no matching entry all or some of the other tables.

Right now my view only shows records that have data in all 4 tables.  I know
I've had this problem before and I know there's simple syntax, but I've only
done it with two tables in the join and I (apparently) can't remember the
correct syntax.

Can anyone demonstrate the correct syntax for joining several tables in this
way?

Here's my view definition:
SELECT users.uid, users.loginid, users."password", users.title,users.firstname, users.middlename, users.lastname,
users.suffix,users.organization, users.job_title, users_address.address1, users_address.address2,
users_address.address3,users_address.city,    users_address.state, users_address.zip, users_address.country,
users_email.email,users_phone.phone  
FROM (((users LEFT JOIN users_address ON ((users.uid = users_address.uid))) LEFT JOIN users_email ON ((users.uid =
users_email.uid)))LEFT JOIN users_phone ON ((users.uid = users_phone.uid)))  
WHERE (((users_address."primary" = 't'::bool)  AND (users_email."primary" = 't'::bool))  AND (users_phone."primary" =
't'::bool));

I doubt you need the following information, but if you do, here are the
table definitions:
            Table "users"   Column    |         Type          |    Modifiers
