Thought long and hard about this and while it is possible, it is not something I feel I should have to do. This conversation in its many threads has spun out of control and into areas that a) out of the scope of this list b) into conduct that would fall a foul of some or all of the various 'code' that have been proposed. I plead guilty to contributing to at least some of the previous and that pains me. What pains me even more is the decision I have reached, to unsubscribe from --general. Filtered or not this list is not a place for me anymore and continued participation will only anger me more and that goes places I do not want to go. I will continue on other postgres-- lists as long as they stay untainted.
Adrian,
Do not take emotional steps.
You're of a great value to the -general list. Let things settle down a bit for a while — I'm quite sure list will come back to it's common shape.
