No, it's a well mostly well behaved meritocracy. And I prefer that. I believe that free and unfettered discussion is important to many quality forms of governance, not just democracies. I really do prefer the way this list works because when I hit reply all to a discussion with "Bob Smith and Postgresql-general" I know that Bob gets a direct answer from me, now, when he needs it at 2am when his servers are puking their data out their gigE ports, and the rest of the list gets it whenever the mailing list server can get around to it. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
