??? As a longstanding reader of the pgsql-
mailinglists, (including via news.postgresql.org on
occasion), all I see is some outsiders trying to help
us "fix" a problem that does not exist. And yes, I
have read most of the messages that have passed by in
these threads. After all that, I still don't see the
benefit.

Perhaps that is why these conversations have been
carried on almost totally by people who do not post to
the pgsql lists.
