If they had come to the lists with their problems, not solved them, and
then denounced loudly, I'd agree. In this case it sounds like a
consultant set it up, didn't do any tuning and left, and they were left
with something that wasn't working well for them and were frustrated,
and possibly angry. Different situation, really.
Fortunately, they are getting assistance and hopefully they'll come away
happy and sing praises to the world. ;-)
What bothers me more is the idea of having an actively PostgreSQL-
hostile journalist at CXOToday.
