I have no idea of any posts that have been self-moderated, except for
one of my own which I posted only to the EnterpriseDB blog:
http://blogs.enterprisedb.com/2011/08/23/postgres-enterprise-manager-i-love-it-when-a-plan-comes-tog...

I would have liked to have been able to post that to my regular blog
so it appeared on Planet, though had I thought that possible I would
have gone into more technical detail about how the product is
architected, and made it less "marketing" sounding.
