My goodness people!!  If you are just going to bash people who are trying to
learn PostgreSQL then you have no chance of ever getting new people using
it!  Cut out this crap and do what this list is meant to do, which is, I'm
assuming, helping people figure out why their installations aren't running
as fast as they would like.  This is pathetic!!
