Domage? Is this about the Kölner Dom? :-)

Well it's not really a hobby, more a *mission*. IMHO (in my hopeful
opinion) we're adhering to criteria that can be put on the very best
software design. I wouldn't like the word hobby for this. I'd say

BECAUSE PGADMIN IS FREE SOFTWARE ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED FOR PERSONAL NEEDS AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE PUBLIC AS GENEROUS DONATION, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING ON THIS FINE PIECE OF SOFTWARE IN TERMS OF USABILITY, FUNCTIONALITY OR FREEDOM OF DEFECTS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We should rise a fund to insure this Euro thing, don't you think? :-)))
