Just because you cannot imagine that correcting someone can be done in a
polite way doesn't mean that insisting on Postgre not being an accepted alias
is necessarily rude and ignorant by definition.

Sorry, that wasn't what I was implying ... one impression I've gotten from all of these threads is that there have been people 'jumping down the throats' of ppl using either Postgres or Postgre ... not ppl 'politely correcting', but people being overtly rude ...

I know. And I know those people ... I am frequently enough on the IRC channels to witness it actually happening (although I am not as frequent on them as I probably should be). Someone may accuse me of being one of those people, because it depends on my overall mood how much of a jerk I can be and it also depends on how much people consider jerking being rude.
