There's one thing in "saying" it, but quite another in actually listing such
companies on the site. Take for example a company like Podshow (a new
podcasting venture); they are building everything around the dim LAMP stack
(meaning w/ my$ql, i guess because they know podcasts but dont really know
databases), but a large majority of the people in the company are doing
podcasts on some form of Apple computer. So we *could* list them as people
who use postgresql, but if you contacted the people in charge there they
would probably deny it (not realizing that it's included on thier systems).
That seems like a PR nightmare to me...
