Thanks--we'll see how it goes. I am trolling pg-general
for research for my book anyway. I'm not going to summarize

It could not replace proper reading of the mailing list.
Cross referencing is a great idea. However, I'm reading
pg-general via email which is easier for me and I think
that the cross referencing would slow the momentum I'll
need to keep up.
