The PostgreSQL team has not spent a great deal of effort porting the
database system to the Win32 platform in order to have people like Eric
spoil the reputation of our mailing lists.

If Eric doesn't care about windows, he can ignore discussions related to

his capabilities to RTFM by setting up appropriate procmail filters. Or
does this sound too difficult to you, Eric?
