Those who will be offended There is definitely those who will find this offensive. It is considered a bit of a swear word, albeit not nearly as much as others. 2. Those who will feel it is unprofessional. I fall into #2 but I can sure as hell understand why PostgreSQL pisses some people off and something you just want to shout about it. > There are a lot of much worse ways of saying that that would offend > people, but I don't see this as one. > > But that could be just me :-) My vote is still to keep it, but I > certainly understand that others can see it differently.

Personally I feel the following words we can probably let slide: Damn Hell Piss/es ;) There are certainly much worse words we could be publishing. Sincerely, Joshua D.
