Responded to the separately cross-posted version on -www...in short this is not a big reporting list and doesn't need the same rules or expectations.  Assume agnostic o/s and current release then deal with variations as they are needed.

I would like to see the following added to the introduction to this list.

"When submitting to this list, please include the full version of PostgreSQL and the O/S you are using.
Also, if you are reportaing a problem, it is essential that a minimal amount of schema & data be
provided in order to duplicate problem being reported, as well as exact error verbage encountered and
any relevant extracts from the postgresql log file(s)."

While some may think there are cases where this is irrelavant, there are now in existence seveeral
versions of PostgreSQL across multiple operating systems. It it not inconcievable that a bug (or problem)
being reported in a previous version & O/S has already been corrected in a newer one. Likewise, something
that may occur in one version & O/S may not occur in another.

If it is just a general query, keep in mind that new features are constantly being added with each new
release, so something previously impossible (or done another way) in a previous version, may now be
simplified with the implementation of a new function/feature.

I encourage additional suggestions as to what should be included when submitting queries to this list.
