Change to EnterpriseDB website - Mailing list pgsql-advocacy

Folks,

I wanted to let you know that we have changed the text on our website
from:

EnterpriseDB substantially enhanced PostgreSQL, the world's most
advanced open source database, to create the EnterpriseDB Database
Server. The product retains the legendary stability and reliability of
PostgreSQL while performing up to 200% faster.

To:
EnterpriseDB substantially enhanced PostgreSQL, the world's most
advanced open source database, to create the EnterpriseDB Database
Server. The product retains the legendary stability and reliability of
PostgreSQL while adding Oracle compatibility and DynaTune(tm), an
automated tuning function that reduces the need to continually manage
performance.

We will be making the same change to our data sheet as well.

To the point, if you are willing to accept that there are companies
other than CMD which could be reasonably described as "A PostgreSQL
Company" then CMD calling themselves "The PostgreSQL Company" doesn't
seem all that reasonable.

CMD has a lot to offer as a company. I can't understand why they'd
waste the attention of a potential client with what is clearly
marketing speak.
