Re: Bruce Momjian's interview in LWN.

I announced this on Announce/General a few hours ago.

I wanted to mention that all general PostgreSQL news goes to those two
lists, on the assumption that all people are subscribed to either of
those two lists.

I don't post to hackers by default because I don't want to duplicate
these postings.

Sorry to duplicate, but I had not received the post to general or
announce (to both of which I am subscribed) before posting. But I will
keep in mind the new postings. I also put it on the 'In The News' page
on the website (thanks Vince).

Now that I look through my inbox, I don't see the post anywhere.
Hmmm.... Not in trash either, which I didn't empty yesterday.

That is strange. I saw it on those lists.

I want to say I didn't phrase the email correctly. Sorry.

First, I wanted to say thanks for saying you liked it. Second, I
wanted to make sure the people on hackers who want to see general
information are subscribed to either the 'general' list or the
'announce' list.

So did I. But lately I've noticed that mail sent to both hackers and
general or announcements and general, one will show up a long while
after the first. One took two days to show up. It was sent on the
9th (and I saw it on hackers that day) then on the 11th it showed up
as posted to general. I didn't bother looking at the headers tho to
see where it was hung.

Re: Bruce Momjian's interview in LWN.

-announce is moderated, which means it has to be approved by myself ... I
*try* to get in nightly and approve what is in the queue, targetting
-announce items first, but sometimes time doesn't permit :(

I pronounce it "postgres". (I suspect that everybody else does
too, whenever possible.) In English there's no problem with the
spelling differing from the pronunciation. Making the name hard
to pronounce doesn't help anybody but Oracle.

Oh, not a problem. You're famous for, er, non-verbosity.

First, you're welcome. Second, understood and agreed.

No need to take that as a personal challenge to remove the "non-" from
Lamar's opinion... ;)
