A quote from the aforementioned article. Do read. Worth your time
```
Hackers have a reputation for meeting simple questions with what looks like hostility or arrogance. It sometimes looks like we're reflexively rude to newbies and the ignorant. But this isn't really true.
What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem to be unwilling to think or to do their own homework before asking questions. People like that are time sinks — they take without giving back, and they waste time we could have spent on another question more interesting and another person more worthy of an answer. We call people like this “losers” (and for historical reasons we sometimes spell it “lusers”).

The question gets asked frequently so if one searches the archive usually you'll get a thread from the past 6 months or so which is usually recent enough. Plus lots of people publish blog posts and articles on the topic, which are probably more well written and researched than off-the-cuff replies to a mailing list would be. At least posting "hey, I found these three tools, and am leaning toward such-and-such because of reasons, does anyone have any thoughts I should consider?" would should the effort and allow for better responses since at least some background is given. Knowing generally how the poster uses PostgreSQL also helps and should be included.A posting like this I'll usually just ignore since I know that answers already exist to be found, and it is not something that I have chosen to become a "librarian/interactive assistant" for - I relegate to the documentation for that.David J.
