As for me, I'd much prefer to be rhaas@postgresql.org than robertmhaas@gmail.com. While it's true that I'm unlikely to lose control of robertmhaas@gmail.com, I might decide I'm no longer happy with their service, or whatever. Assuming I stay on the sysadmin team's good side, rhaas@postgresql.org can always be repointed. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company
