So you're basically going to make it worse than it already was and to hell with everyone who was working to correct it, right? We'll surely block propigation with that setup.
Marc appears to be the only one NOT making this situation worse. Let's review. Since Mike Cox's unsolicited attempt to "fix" a problems that he perceived, what has happened? The list has been deluged with countless angry process oriented messages filled with vitriol and devoid of any content regarding the purpose of this forum, we have been bombarded with profanity, and the lists have been dropped from google. This seems like it was a fool's errand from the beginning and Marc has done nothing but try to cooperate to the extent reasonable. That does not include jumping through every hoop that anyone holds up for him.
In order to improve propogation, as always, we welcome anyone wishing to
carry these groups to email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get added on as a direct
peer ...
You're still trying to shove your list up USENet's ass instead of doing it the proper way. Why is that?
I will not speak for Marc but say that as a member of the mailing list, I think he does an excellent job of advocating the best interests of the postgres community and I support his decisions. You can make any accusations you like but we know what a good job Marc does and appreciate Marc's efforts on our behalf.
