Обсуждение: thank you

Hullo List,

This is aimed at everyone in this community who contributes to the
Postgres project, but especially at the core folks who continually make
this community great through energy, time, money, responses, and
what-have-you.

I see lots of "Thank you"s go by for this problem or that conundrum
solved, but I don't think I've seen a general thank you for all that all
y'all do.  (If I've missed them in the blur of emails I get, I do
apologize.)  Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you for the countless times you've saved my butt from my own
stupidity.  Thank you for the absolute awesome help you've been while
tracking down bugs.  Thank you for signing the NDA without fuss and
searching my DB for a bug that I may have caused.  Thank you for
answering my frustrated emails at some ungodly hour of the morning (do
you sleep?!).  Thank you for engaging others in discussion, sometimes
beyond the point of annoyance ... your enthusiasm and love for the
project is duly noted. Thank you for constantly preaching "the right
way".  Thank you . . . well you get the drift.  I'll stop before this
turns into some chain-letter type ordeal.

The point is that I hope you realize just how much you all mean to the
community.

Kevin

I'll second that. Plus thank you for a database system that's a joy to work
with.

NDA...what NDA??

I would suggest concentrating on implementing your contact page
(in other words publish the page only when it works correctly..)

I'm just disappointed that I finish up work with my current employer on
Friday and where I am going I won't get to work with PG anymore and thus
won't have as much opportunity to interact with the PG community.

That is until I can convince my new employer to realise the dark side of
  Microsoft SQL Server. :)

I'll second and third and ... everything he just said!  Over the past
couple of years I've come to realize that PostgreSQL's greatest
strength is that it is more than software, or even open source
software -- the software is really just the gold nugget at the center
of a vibrant community of individuals help, explain things, explain
things again, explain things again :), crack jokes, get to know each
other and so much more.  To the core team:  thanks for continuing to
make this possible, to everyone:  thanks for making it all happen!

+1 from me, too.  I haven't been here long, but I enjoy reading the
threads, and I've gained quite a lot of insight from the few threads in
which I've been involved.  I don't even use databases professionally --
I'm a stock trader -- but, I have been interested in PostgreSQL for
personal projects for a long time.  I'm glad I'm finally involved in a
community where I can learn from other peoples' experience and interact
with those people on a sort of informal but still professional level.
Thanks go out to Tom, Joshua, Merlin, and the rest of the big names on
the list.

Now there's a blatant plug if ever I saw one. That's one in hand for EDB!!
