True. But it would be good if everyone involved remembers that
this is a public forum, and keeps the criticism as professional,
constructive (and ideally, not misquotable out of context) as much
as possible.

Convincing DBAs at an Oracle-only company that PG is a solid,
professionally maintained and supported application is tricky
enough without an impression of public infighting amongst
ourselves.
