What a load of tosh. This list has a purpose, it > *serves* that purpose, and does so well. Not counting this thread itself, since January 1 this list has had 22 posts, all but five of which were demonstrably off-topic (assuming that that Javascript thread in January should have been on pgsql-jdbc). Of the five, three were a single thread about ECPG, and the other two were questions that went unanswered. So in other words, there's been *one* effective, on-topic exchange in three months here, and a much larger volume of stuff that should have gone somewhere else. The list looks pretty moribund to me :-(. regards, tom lane
