I belong to MANY email listservers, probably like all of us.
All of them, I am on digest.
The CONTENT from all of you contributors is superior, more mature, and more directly helpful than all the other lists.
Ithink it has something to do with the conservative, structured mind set of us Dbase programmers. (Or at least when we
discussdatabase issues ;-)
However, I think that the mailing list world has moved beyond what we use, at least for those of us who receive digest
mode.The google groups group all the same topics in one block, and uses intra-document html links to get to those
blocks.
By using the 'subjects contents' table at the top of the digest email, and the back button, it is VERY easy to
investigateonly the subjects one is intersted in, without having to scan through the whole digest. There are other,
better-than-pgsql-mail-programconvenience attributes of the google groups email system.
I would like to open a conversation about either changing our email to be more like google groups, or a move to google
groups.
PS, we(Postgresql databsase) don't(doesn't) have any mention on lots of SQL/Database tutorials. Everything is mysql
this,mysql that. I just offered to write examples for Postgresql to w3schools SQL section. I'd like to encourage others
tolook for opportunities to do that, especially for the programming language frameworks. I am always promomting P-sql
tothe coders of Symfony and referring little issues withi postgres to them.
