Mr. Masao,
Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes must go out to the Japanese People at this time, not only for your great loss...
But also with our fervent hopes that any larger tragedy will still be avoided. I cannot help but think of the small group of workers in those plants who may well be, as we speak, essentially giving up their lives for the benefit of their families, friends - for their country.
Our thoughts are with you - we only wish we could do more to help - and I'm sure everyone in The United States feels this way.

Thank you all for your concern. Fortunately I and my family are all safe.
But there are too many suffering people in disaster area. I can't help but
care about and pray for them..
And, we are facing lots of afterquakes, nuclear crisis and power outage, etc.
So I'm not sure how much I can contribute for PostgreSQL development
in 9.1 alpha/beta phase. Though I'll do my best.
