I still haven't decided which way to vote. I'm lingering in between NO 
and ABSTAIN. I was originally in favor of a single, non-gated 
Postgresql newsgroup in the comp* hierarchy. I'm no longer sure if it 
would be a good thing or not. 

The proponent certainly left a bad taste in my mouth after his little 
crossposting stunt - but I will still vote on the *proposal*, and not 
the *proponent*.
