Someone I know used to work at a nuclear power and research facility (No Dave, someone else) and told me an interesting story. The facility in question was often beset by protesters who invariably managed to scale the perimeter fence. He asked one of the security guards one day why they didn't build a better fence since the run-of-the-mill fence was obviously not up to the task for such a large perimeter against determined foes. The answer was that the fence was not there to keep people out at all. It's purpose was in fact to ensure that when they prosecuted it would be impossible for anyone to claim they hadn't realized they were trespassing... -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
