Actually I think there are two problems at work here: 1) We're all pretty busy, and often ignore messages when we're particularly busy on the assumption that someone else will pick them up. 2) Some things like the snapshot builds have specific 'owners', so we tend to ignore anything that is "someone else's territory" We need to get better at not doing those things - one solution would be to give Bruce access to PMT so he can log tickets that we can't ignore or miss so easily. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK Ltd: http://www.enterprisedb.com PostgreSQL UK 2008 Conference: http://www.postgresql.org.uk
