I still haven't decided which way to vote. I'm lingering in between NO
and ABSTAIN. I was originally in favor of a single, non-gated
Postgresql newsgroup in the comp* hierarchy. I'm no longer sure if it
would be a good thing or not.
The proponent certainly left a bad taste in my mouth after his little
crossposting stunt - but I will still vote on the *proposal*, and not
the *proponent*.
