I am open to changing the wording. 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-together/ 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. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
