As a longstanding reader of the pgsql- mailinglists, (including via news.postgresql.org on occasion), all I see is some outsiders trying to help us "fix" a problem that does not exist. And yes, I have read most of the messages that have passed by in these threads. After all that, I still don't see the benefit. Perhaps that is why these conversations have been carried on almost totally by people who do not post to the pgsql lists. > > > You people have the audacity try and dictate rules > of > >matters that do not affect your lives in the least. > > I've dealt with the day to day workings of USENet > for more than 10 > years and there are a LOT of people who've been > doing it longer. > > Try not making so many assumptions. > > > > >Mr. Pauli Vaurio > > > -- > gburnore@databasix dot com > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > How you look depends on where you > go. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Gary L.
