Yes, you did. Repeatedly. On this and other threads, you've made the statement at least three times that per-query hints are the only way to go for 8.3.

Stop harping on the "per-query hints are the true way and the only way", or prepare to have people start simply ignoring you. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
