!    Postgres is a widely-used nickname for PostgreSQL. It was the original
!    name of the project at Berkeley and is strongly preferred over other
!    nicknames. If you find 'PostgreSQL' hard to pronounce, call it
!    'Postgres' instead.

!    In November 2007 a classic Open Source debate took place on whether
!    or not to change the name of the PostgreSQL project to Postgres.
!    It was decided that Postgres would be an officially recognized 
!    nickname but that the name would remain PostgreSQL. Postgres was 
!    the original name of the project at Berkeley and is strongly 
!    preferred over other nicknames. If you find 'PostgreSQL' hard 
!    to pronounce, call it 'Postgres' instead.
