I agree. Obviously, the word presentation is the issue here. If one person speaks and everybody else is silent that is not a good use of anybody's time. On any topic, I expect the introducer of that topic to set the scene, establish the major questions and encourage discussion. I would follow that form myself: I want to hear the wisdom of others and alter my plans accordingly. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
