Not that we don't need a marketing presence; we do (I think Great Bridge's marketing efforts are sorely missed). But the point he is making is that the pgsql mailing lists go to people who are generally unimpressed by marketing fluff. And they're already "sold" on PG anyway. The right way to handle this next time is to generate a PR-style press release to send to outside contacts, but to do our more traditional, technically-oriented announcement on the mailing lists. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
