The idea is to have Marc *not* do the physiscal mailing out. This needs to be

We started this discussion because Zapatec hosted the last San Francisco
Postgres User's Group meeting. Their whole technology is based on
Apache/Tomcat/PostgreSQL. Good enough?

No, I don't. Sorry. Speaking of which, I'd like to give you a temporary
logon and let you set up cvsup on my server. I'm just not going to have
enough time.
