You mean the interviews where they say they are talking to "Bruce Momjian of
the PostgreSQL project" and he says things like "we hope to have X feature in
the next release" or "we have seen a number of new users in Y country".   If
you don't think people read those interviews and see the intentions of our
project then I think you're fooling yourself.
