So I take it that Mayor Daley is counselling us to "vote early; vote
often?" :-)

Ahem, we are not all "gents". You can point me where
to give that feedback.

We should probably post this to General as well.

If you are talking about my comment, it does not
need to go to general. If you are talking about
Josh's rally call, it did go to general.

Elein,

I was forwarding. Gimme a break, hey?

And the person who sent that mailed it to me & Gavin, so it's accurate.

I know the original did not come from you.
You would not say that that way ;-)

I think my point was made, however.
I'm just keeping all of you gents on your toes :-)

now if they only had PostgreSQL on the list, it would be worth rallying
about ...

It is on the list. Look again. We're there as Postgres.

Amusingly, the Firebird people have really learned to rally the troops for
these online polls; they're leading this one as well. Either that, or
they're cheating and using a 'bot.

Actually, the poll has accomplished it's job admirably -- the job of
pulling new eyes into the website.

Heh.. I was talking about Josh's.... and yes I saw that after the
fact... The downside to having 10 mail lists.

But hey if you want to announce to General that you are a lady and not a
Gent... more power to you ;)

Well I guess one would wonder if you are the "only" lady in the group ;)

That is certainly the case for this one.

Building a "voting bot" would doubtless be quite easy.

And the results are silly, anyways; it's nothing more than a vague
popularity contest. For instance, I'd rather use Informix than most
of the other options, but its percentage of popularity is just
vanishingly minscule.

You'd think that, of all ppl. O'Reilly would know the correct spelling ...
but, then again, you'd like that the advocacy group would try and correct
that, no?

PostgreSQL ladies? Neat. Where do I get one?
