Every so often on the slony (Postgres replication) list, a fellow
from Skype pops up. I suspect they use postgres under high volume,
huge dataset situation...

Also, do a "whois slony.info" or any *.info domain and you hit a
replicated postgres database. The entire .info (and now .org) domain
registries are stored on postgres.
