Re: I am being interviewed by OReilly

From someone whose DSN used to look like: PostgreSQL

I can tell you that P O S T G R E S Q L means *nothing* to people who are
new to it. However, one can clearly see SQL at the end, and recognise that
as a valid acronym, so assume that the prefix, and hence the product
identifier, is POSTGRE

That's where even educated people (perhaps even ESPECIALLY educated people)
get the idea.
