If you are talking about my comment, it does not need to go to general. If you are talking about Josh's rally call, it did go to general.

I know the original did not come from you. You would not say that that way ;-) I think my point was made, however. I'm just keeping all of you gents on your toes :-) elein On Sun, Feb 08, 2004 at 11:23:48AM -0800, Josh Berkus wrote: > Elein, > > > Ahem, we are not all "gents".

Marc, > now if they only had PostgreSQL on the list, it would be worth rallying > about ... It is on the list. Look again. We're there as Postgres. Amusingly, the Firebird people have really learned to rally the troops for these online polls; they're leading this one as well. Either that, or they're cheating and using a 'bot. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

I was talking about Josh's.... and yes I saw that after the fact... The downside to having 10 mail lists. But hey if you want to announce to General that you are a lady and not a Gent... more power to you ;) J > > On Sat, Feb 07, 2004 at 10:11:37PM -0800, Joshua Drake wrote: > >>elein wrote: >> >>>Ahem, we are not all "gents".

That is certainly the case for this one. Building a "voting bot" would doubtless be quite easy. And the results are silly, anyways; it's nothing more than a vague popularity contest. For instance, I'd rather use Informix than most of the other options, but its percentage of popularity is just vanishingly minscule. -- If this was helpful, <http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=cbbrowne> rate me http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/unix.html Now is a good time to spend a year dead for tax purposes.

Thankfully, their website database is not PostgreSQL. We don't have to worry about Referential Integrity catching duplicate votes... :) Merlin
