The opinion expressed above is also totally at odds with what I have come to expect on this list - friendly, professional, expert help, not to mention reasoned debate. The PostgreSQL team has not spent a great deal of effort porting the database system to the Win32 platform in order to have people like Eric spoil the reputation of our mailing lists. If Eric doesn't care about windows, he can ignore discussions related to it. If he doesn't want to see messages related to it, maybe he can show his capabilities to RTFM by setting up appropriate procmail filters. Or does this sound too difficult to you, Eric?

[GENERAL] Another list for windows port...
It is possible to mainteners of this list to keep this list from /$?%/$?/? windows problems? I don't care about windows. The worst thing never made was porting an excellent product like PostgreSQL to a poor server OS like windows. Now, we are invade with users that aren't used to read the manual... even the howto install readme!!! Users that have problems often relate to bug in OS... I thought the topic of this list was to postgresql in general and not about WINDOWS SPECIFIQ PART. So the solution is to do another list for them...

You mean like most Linux users? I thought the topic of this list was to postgresql in general and not about WINDOWS SPECIFIQ PART. It is general, which is why you get a lot of cross traffic. If you want to see more specific topics you may want to try the more specific lsits. So the solution is to do another list for them... Uhm there is a list for them. Remember the goal is the pervasiveness of PostgreSQL -- regardless of platform. Sincerely, Joshua D.
