Off-topic: a round of applause for Marc

From

BTW, I just wanted to say what a pleasure it's been working with the
mailing lists for the last few weeks.  Whatever Marc did to the servers
has reduced the typical list propagation delay to a minute or less,
as opposed to the fifteen-minutes-to-hours delays we were suffering for
a good while there.  That just makes list conversations work *so* much
better and more smoothly.

Marc doesn't get enough credit for the time (and money) he spends making
the project infrastructure go; as a rule, he only hears about it when
something's broken.  So I think he's overdue for hearing a plaudit when
things work well.

Thanks!

            regards, tom lane

Agreed. It's been so good recently I've been wondering if I'm hallucinating
or something.
