The question is only about _an official newsgroup_. To contradict my
statement above, the survey question would have to ask about _an
official comp.* group NOT gated to the mailing lists_. And it would also
have to point out who already said very clearly that and why they would
stay on the mailing lists only.
Interpreting this survey result as
"a large number of experienced and advanced PostgreSQL users would
consider to move to a newsgroup where their questions will not be read
by Tom Lane, Stephen Szabo (and many other key players who said NO to
this on the mailing list already)"
is IMHO a too far strech.
