No, but you drew the comparison. > It seems a strange moderation policy that allows bald insults from some > people but not others.

No stranger than you leaping to demand an apology. My point was, that I didn't see an deliberate insult, and by the sound of it neither did Josh. I saw a humorous response that was unfortunately missing a smiley to make the intent clear for those that haven't been in these parts for years. I would have thought that you too would know Greg well enough to know that he wasn't trying to be rude but was making a joke. Anyhoo, I don't think this is worth wasting any more bandwidth so I'll shut up now. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
