Google groups shows 148 hits in the last month, including someone
setting up a postgre user community.
To get an un-skewed-by-this-thread number, I also searched for posts in
January. There were 172.
That's a lot more than 3 or 4 a month, even if you assume that 75% are
dups from later messages in the same threads. And it doesn't include the
vastly larger number of people that continue to use the incorrect name
but didn't post to a mailing list or newsgroup.
