Yes, that was my initial reaction too. However, to look at it another way, it
is great that someone, who is not as wrapped up in Postgres as those of us
active on the lists seem to be, can look at it, use it, and say nice things
about it. I have _never_ seen an article written about something with which I
am familiar which seemed to be 100% correct, except (perhaps :) in refereed
journals.
