I agree. I would like to not use autocommit but I do way to many syntax
errors for it to be practical in pg.
Autocommit for me is just a hack to get around the above "limitation".

For interactive use I'd like simple errors like syntax error to not abort
a transaction. For other uses it's good that it aborts.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
