RE: Your RDBMS Survey ...

I figured as much on this issue (they were trying to compensate for
perceived ballot-box stuffing from the same individual (or IP address,
perhaps).

I'm pretty certain that I couldn't see MY way clear to hosting on
mycgiserver.com, because according to the news item on the front page, they
no longer support Perl. So from their perspective, if my vote didn't get
counted, it's no big deal.

Cheers!

Maybe they are attempting to compensate for a spike in the number of
votes in favor of Postgres. Was there a group of votes from a single ip
or some such?
