After all these months, the NAN Usenet team has lined up a vote taker
for the comp.databases.postgresql new group proposal.  Expect voting
to begin within a few days.

The PGSQL* hierarchy is now well distributed, and there is no need for
a comp.* group.  If anything, the useless comp.* group will confuse
newbies into thinking that that is the best forum for PostGreSQL
advice - instead of the PGSQL.* hierarchy.  None of the developers and
power users of these lists will be answering questions in the comp.*
group, if created, so it would be better to not create the group at
all.

If created, comp.databases.postgresql will NOT be gated to any of the
mailing lists.  It it is in the best interest of the PostGreSQL
community to VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
