No, it's a well mostly well behaved meritocracy.  And I prefer that.
I believe that free and unfettered discussion is important to many
quality forms of governance, not just democracies.

I really do prefer the way this list works because when I hit reply
all to a discussion with "Bob Smith and Postgresql-general" I know
that Bob gets a direct answer from me, now, when he needs it at 2am
when his servers are puking their data out their gigE ports, and the
rest of the list gets it whenever the mailing list server can get
around to it.
