Hello,

I was talking with a peer about the particular PGEU problem that I am

currently arguing on the following thread:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-eu-general/2008-01/msg00128.php

I wanted to see if I could explain my position outside of the thread to

allow the thread to stay productive.

I am not sure if this all increases productivity here ...

I am aware that there are variable levels of cultural idioms in all

countries. Americans have theirs, Canadians, Germans... all of them.

Whenever I make a comment about the succinct nature of PeterE's

responses, the response I get back is, "He's German". It's not

derogatory, it's a statement of a particular cultural perspective.

I know Peter personally and I just wanted to mention one thing: Peter is one of the most experienced PostgreSQL hackers out there.

I can only point out that Peter's postings are based on facts and that he is doing good work - in fact he has been contributing to the project more than many others on the list and he has done so for many years.

He is a man of code - I wish we had more of those people.

Personally I think it makes absolutely no sense to open this discussion here and it does not bring us anywhere.

Don't take it personal but in my opinion this is a totally useless discussion.

I cannot see what this thread might be good for ...

best regards,

Hans
