I don't follow your logic. Most people on here earn their living with
Postgres in one way or another, and a large percentage of the vocal
people on this list are very active in promotion. Who would see the
direct cost more than those who are spending the money and time in
pushing higher adoption rates and advocating to attract users? In
addition, who better to have this conversation than those who have an
active interest in the future marketing direction of the application?
