People,

We just got a post to pgsql-announce like this:

> [SnakeOil] is planning to add support of PostgreSQL to the [SnakeOil] Engine
> product, and could use the help and expertise of people within the Postgres

Of course, it isn't exactly snake oil that they're selling. But the
post was rejected (rightfully, ISTM) by a pgsql-announce moderator, and
the person posting it just wrote to the pgsql-announce owner to ask
about this rejection:

> Can you please give me some info about why my post was rejected? I'm

> inappropriate.

What do we want to tell them?
