[HACKERS] Email signature in release announcement posting
I want to apologize for having my signature at the bottom of the 8.2.4, etc. release announcement. There is no reason to mention my name, company, and web site at the bottom of something that is supposed to come from the community. And I didn't even write that email --- I was doing it for someone else. I also didn't realize my email would be picked up, verbatum, by web sites: http://lwn.net/Articles/231517/ As soon as I saw the posted version I knew the signature looked odd. I will try to remember to remove it in the future if I ever have to make such announcements again. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate

Some people are way too sensitive in my opinion. cheers andrew (Pastafarian) ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

I think we should create a [EMAIL PROTECTED] account for you just to post official notices; this will also prevent you from accidentally using the wrong sig line (depending on MTA); it's what I do. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
