Like all visitors from the Crab Nebula (except our leaders who are  
genetically separate) I qualify as a novice when it comes to  
Postgres.  What is more, the people (humans, that is) who need the  
documentation the most are those who, well, need the documentation the  
most.

Hence, if this were to be made available, it would be great if it was  
novice speed.

Thanks everyone for even contemplating it.

John
