        There is only *one* thing that I want to say here...

        As co-ordinator for the PostgreSQL Development Group, we have not yet been able to substantiate this allegation that PostgreSQL was even remotely used in the development of "Titanic"...altho we'd love to be able to. The first we ever heard about it was in the above posting. There is no official, or even unofficial, endorsement of what was said above (unless/until we can get confirmation of it)...

        I just don't want ppl to think that this is something that we are advertising...this is the work of one individual that has purely end-user ties into the system :(
