I would like to point out that it is NOT creating a different group. It
will still be the same, and there will not be a split or anything. What
will happen is that the postgresql group will become legitimate, and
therefore all usenet servers will carry the group.
So this is a process that should have happened when the
comp.databases.postresql.* usenet groups were originally created. I'm
seeing a lot of support for this, except for one person (who seems to not
like me personally).
I would welcome people to read through news.groups and follow the postgresql
threads.
P.S. I am just posting this so people can review the RFD (request for
discussion) and please post any suggestions on improvements/likes/dislikes
so it can be made better. As not to distract the discussions away from the
normal topic, I will post to the postgresql groups no more than once per
week until it is time for the call for votes (CFV).
