Hello,

All due respect to everyone but political correctness is essentially
the living with the feeling that you are a politician.
I am not a politician, neither is Command Prompt. We are a business, we
have opinions, views and a sense of humor.
These traits may or may not be representative of other people's views,
opinions and or sense of humor. If it is not
to your liking, don't view it, and don't purchase a shirt of mug.

Personally I have no problem standing up and saying, we going to eat
you alive because in my not so humble opinion,
and my very business plan states that our purpose is insure that
PostgreSQL is the number one choice for database use
in the small to medium size business. If that means I upset some people
along the way... well I am not a politician, I don't
have to make everybody happy.

Cheers!

Joshua D. Drake
