Everybody I know also still sais "Postgres", leaving out the Q L
becaus it is too long. In german we would not have the "sequel" problem,
since we pronounce it "ess ku ell". I think they all know that they are
really
referring to PostgreSQL.
Guess what you find under www.postgres.com ? Yes, it is Great Bridge.
postgresql.com is taken by some Korean domain grabber.
BTW Marc, I would make www.postgres.org point to postgresql.
