This isn't really a Linux question, by the way...

There are *no* postgresql usenet newsgroups. Not a one.

I see 26 postgresql Usenet newsgroups on the news.individual.net

Usenet

server.

Ok genuis, why don't you try to post to one of those 26 newsgroups on
individual.net and see what happens.

I don't care about the topic; thus, I have nothing relevant to post to
them.

Get back to me with an apology
when you have done so.

Are you implying that the groups don't exist and I'm lying to you?

Or are you having problems with the decades-old concept of a "gated
newsgroup"? If that's the case, then perhaps you owe me an apology
after you've done some research on the topic.

Well, yes. You have to be a member of the mailing list you want to
post to even if you are posting through usenet. Otherwise your post
will bounce to you *email* account. Half of those who respond even
when you are a member of the list, respond via email only! And you
must be a member of the 26 different mailing lists in order to post to
each one!

For example, if I have a question about JDBC, I must first sign up for
the mailing list and go through the confirmation steps and then after
my problem is solved, I then have to unsubscribe in order to stop my
inbox from being flooded with emails! Is this how usenet should work
in your opinion?

Followups set to comp.os.linux.misc only, *again*. Next time, they'll
be set to the killfile.

Since we are discussing USENET, I feel comp.os.linux.misc is an
inappropriate place for a followup.

Then take in to PGSQL* where it is on-topic.

[An imagined conversation in the head of Mike Cox]

"Oh, life is so hard when there's so much free information available.
Maybe I should just go hire a consultant and get the job done right.
Service, that's what I want! Now!"

[Later, on the phone....]

"What?? You're telling me you want $150/hr to help me with my problem?
It should be free, or at least cheap! Why, I could get the same
information from usenet. I'll only pay $10."

Yes, indeed, life is so hard sometimes.

For the benefit of other people reading this thread, you don't have to
be a member of the lists to post. Nonsubscriber messages are moderated
(which adds a delay), but on topic messages will get through.
In addition, the lists are set up for technical users and don't use
reply to munging to keep replies from going back to off list posters.

Additionally, you can subscribe and set the "nomail" option, which will
allow your mail to get through without moderation, but won't actually
send mail from the list to you.
