Obviously I disagree. I was confused by what very little non
descriptive description it has. I was trying to make it clearer for
people.

What in gods name are you talking about? I wasn't pushing a "position"
something that in your blind stubbornness you have yet to figure out. I
was trying to understand the scope of the list which *is not documented
anywhere*

Somehow you have made absolutely zero sense in this sentence. I didn't
post English to a Spanish list. I posted about a community conference
to a community list.

I now realize that the community list in question (eu-general) exists
to talk about specific European issues. I did not know that before as
it is *NOT DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE*. I thought, it was just like
pgsql-general except that it was centered around the European
geographical area.

It has since been pointed out to me that I was incorrect in my
assumption which is fine but I felt that it should be documented so
others don't make the same mistake.

I have zero idea why you have gotten all upset about this.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
