The same reasoning applies to the audience of (and contributors to) most publications. AFAIK it is not considered good style to mix spelling variants freely -- we should pick one variant and use it consistently. (If we're going to be really precise, we could also decide to follow a set of conventions on punctuation, capitalization, and other minor style issues, but I can't get too excited about it.) -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
