This is way cool.  Do we have permission to quote you on the PostgreSQL
home page?

There are.  Unfortunately, a lot of them are in Defense or Homeland
Security, which means that they will never go on the record about what
software they use.  Publically known users include:

Library of Congress
California Attorney General
National Gallery of Art
City of Garden Grove
National Weather Service
NOAA
Lawerence Berkeley Labs
University of California
U.S. Army
Gov't of Venezuala
Sao Paolo Metro
San Francisco MUNI

... and a bunch more I can't remember right now ...
