Uhmm, no.Someone has been hitting the opium lately. Its the same luser who keeps poping his head up spamming Postgress to all the database
newsgroups.

Since the original post hasn't hit my news server yet, I recommend sending complaints
to hotmail and nuking this guy for spaming news groups.

Oh, and to Neil,
Get a frigging clue.
GPL has its advantages. I'd say that Linux is far more stable than NT anyday. So you just saved your self about $1,000 a machine just on OS costs.

Now if you only used a real database, then well, we'll talk. ;-)
