Fast Forward (fwd)

Here's my response to the inaccurate article cmp produced.  After
chatting with Marc I decided to post it myself.

Since I know Ned reads this list, I formally request that he also
insists PUBLICALLY that cmp correct their inaccuracies.  I'm rather
disappointed (for lack of a more descriptive word) that Bruce has not
already done so.

Vince.

Where do you get your info?  Do you just make it up?  PostgreSQL is
not a product of Great Bridge and never has been.  It's 100% independant.
Is Linux a keyword you figure you can use to draw readers?  Won't take
long before folks determine you're full of it.  The PostgreSQL team takes
great pride (not to be confused with great bridge) in ensuring that the
work we do runs on ALL platforms; be it Mac's OSX, FreeBSD 4.3, or even
Windows 2000.  So why do you figure this is a Great Bridge product?  Why
do you figure it's Linux only?  What is it with you writers lately?  Are
you getting lazy and simply using Linux as a quick out for a paycheck?

I rarely (if ever) sign my name as a member of the PostgreSQL team, but
this time I'm making an exception 'cuze you crossed the line.  I also
very rarely get involved in this politlcal crap, but you've crossed
the line on that as well.  The ENTIRE PostgreSQL team awaits your
WRITTEN apology as does every support organisation listed on the website.
