Johnston <[email protected]>; Philip Alger <[email protected]>; +Cc: Andreas Karlsson <[email protected]>; pgsql-hackers Hello, The chapter currently opens directly with a list of subsections and no introductory text. This differs from the structure used in other chapters, but I understand the preference for avoiding redundancy with the ToC. I've revised the introduction to simplify the structure and avoid restating the table of contents too directly, merging the two sentences into one. Attached is v3. ________________________________ From: David G.

Yeah, I use that all the time when I want to reply to some old thread that I no longer have locally. It's been flaky once or twice for me, but normally it works fine. A more pressing problem is that this iteration of the thread isn't attached to the CF entry; you need to do that so that it shows up as having current traffic.
