I apologize for the legalese; as others have suggested it’s corporate IT policy 
and I have no control over it.  I certainly intended no offense to the 
community here.  I will use my personal email for future inquiries on this 
mailing list.

Thanks,
Mike

(I've changed the original subject, "autovacuum locking question", of the

Sorry to be off topic, but this bugs me. Language is important. This isn't 
directed at you specifically, but I see these disclaimers all the time. How can 
you post to a public newsgroup that automatically reproduces your email to 
thousands of subscribers, and additionally publishes it on publicly accessible 
archives, in direct conflict with your company's policy appended to your email? 
And why on Earth do your company's lawyers think this sort of disclaimer is 
helpful and even legally useful? Not to mention, do they realize it's vaguely 
offensive to every customer and colleague who receives it?

Craig
