(Mike: my problem is solved, but please read my final sentence for an 
enhancement request)

Yes, this is what I figured was happening, I wasn't sure how to get rid of it 
though

>>> pgAdmin does not show types by default. You can enable it by going to File

Ahhh, *this* is what I needed to know

>>> Since PostgreSQL types are not owned by tables, I don't think there is a

Yeah, for reuse reasons, I can see that it makes sense that tables don't own 
types, and that dropping the table doesn't drop the type.

Mike, may I suggest this as an enhancement: If SQLA is creating a table with an 
Enum column, and if there's already an Enum with the specified name, it should 
spit out an error if the list of values for the existing and requested Enums 
don't match?
