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
> community to ensure that we are building a product that works well for
> Postgres environments.
>
> Customers use [SnakeOil] to eliminate obstacles for agile development and to

> applications like SAP and Oracle EBS, for datacenter consolidation, and to

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?
