Interesting thought.

Um, I think the distinction here is that Elein is intimately personally 
involved in the PostgreSQL Community and spends a lot of time and effort 
to further our Community *specifically*.

If the people of dotgeek and OSTG were consistently doing the same, then 
we'd probably consider them a lot more "part of the family" than we do.

Does that yardstick make sense?

Regards and best wishes,
