As someone who is constantly thinking, "I wish I could find time to contribute more," I've never understood how people manage to make time to keep something as incredible as PostgreSQL rolling. That being said, I appreciate all of the contributions you've made (my employer would not be as successful if it weren't for Slony) and here's to wishing that you find a way to make life allow you the time to do what you want. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
