Yeah, I'm not sure I buy the way we are reading these statistics here.
Presumably, 100% of psql users have an interest in how to quit it, and
maybe 0.1% of those have a question about how to do it and maybe 10% of
those go to SO and 10% of those upvote the question because SO
encourages it.
On the other hand, perhaps 0.0005% of psql users have an interest in
making psql print HTML tables, but 50% of those are struggling with it.
Which problem would really need addressing?
