Lately, someone has been approving every single announcement from AM software, giving them a front-page news item every 2-3 weeks, frequently for patch releases. What gives? http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.444 http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.433 http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.453 --Josh
