I know this has been covered before. But I have to ask:

> Forrester interviewed 21 vendor and user companies, including ibM, ingres,
> Microsoft, oracle, PostgreSQl, Sun Microsystems, and Sybase.

Who did they interview from the PostgreSQL community?

I decided to give his report the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, maybe he
knows something we don¹t. Well he never actually got to the point of saying
anything specific. Just lots of vague imprecise verbage. Disappointing. I
read it from cover to cover. What a waste of time!

Who is the buffoon who wrote this report? He clearly lacks any signs of
professional integrity. I wouldn¹t let this fool wash my windows!

Apologies for over reacting. I need to cut down on the caffeine at this time
of night. :)
