Hello. My name is Mike Cox. I am in charge of the changing of these
postgresql lists. I have decided that we are going to drop most of the
lists from the vote. We will only be making 4 lists into real Usenet
newsgroups if we win the election. The rest of the lists are crap and
they take up too much fucking room. Marc was an asshole for stealing
BIG8 newsgroup names without voting. He is an irresponsible piece of
shit scumbag cock-licking anus-eating foreskin-sniffing motherfucking
faggot. He has an ego the size of Dolly Parton's tits. Be sure to vote
yes on all four of these lists or every list will be removed.

Your support is most appreciated!!!!!!!

For people who don't know what's going on here a recent discussion on
-general about getting postgresql registered as official usenet newsgroups
got ugly. Postgresql's use of comp.databases.postgresql.* isn't
officially endorsed so many news servers don't carry it. Someone started
the process of becoming an offical group, but rubbed some people the wrong
way and then people from news.groups started flaming away on the
brokenness of our mail <-> news gateways and it just degenerated from
there. Please ignore.

There is considerable evidence that this message is likely a hoax.
Please ignore it and it's contents completely.
