I respectfully disagree with you, Marc. :)

The PGSQL* hierarchy is now well distributed, and there is no need for
a comp.* group. If anything, the ungated comp.* group will confuse
newbies into thinking that that is the best forum for PostGreSQL advice
... instead of the PGSQL.* hierarchy. None of the developers and power
users of these lists will be answering questions in the comp.* group,
if created, so it would be better to not create the group at all.

I still haven't decided which way to vote. I'm lingering in between NO
and ABSTAIN. I was originally in favor of a single, non-gated
Postgresql newsgroup in the comp* hierarchy. I'm no longer sure if it
would be a good thing or not.

The proponent certainly left a bad taste in my mouth after his little
crossposting stunt - but I will still vote on the *proposal*, and not
the *proponent*.

LOL. Get your mind out of the gutter. ;-)
