Thread: a letter rec'd from MySQL
Ireceived the letter below a few minutes ago.
I am far from saying this approach should .... or even could .. be
mimicked/altered for PG, however I thought it might be interesting to
consider a PG variant and also offer a pleasant diversion to the Name
Change thread.
Letter below.
Thanks,
Mike Ellsworth

Come on, proofreading is a tough business and loosing a letter or another can happen with text storage engines such as email. Well, I was smirking too when I spotted it. Does not look too professional and trustworthy for a company. Bye, Christian
