Re: [hypothetical product] support of PostgreSQL

People,

We just got a post to pgsql-announce like this:

[SnakeOil] is planning to add support of PostgreSQL to the [SnakeOil] Engine

product, and could use the help and expertise of people within the Postgres

community to ensure that we are building a product that works well for

Postgres environments.

Customers use [SnakeOil] to eliminate obstacles for agile development and to

move apps/DBs into their private cloud infrastructure (including Unix to

Linux conversions). We are currently also used for critical enterprise

applications like SAP and Oracle EBS, for datacenter consolidation, and to

improve SLAs for database data protection. While agility and productivity

benefits outweigh cost savings, our software will often pay for itself in

storage, backup, and operating cost savings.

Here's a link, if you'd like to see how Facebook reduced its financial

close from 21 to 2 days with [SnakeOil]:

Please let me know if you're interested in hearing more about the product,

providing input, and/or being a Beta tester oft he product.

Of course, it isn't exactly snake oil that they're selling.  But the
post was rejected (rightfully, ISTM) by a pgsql-announce moderator, and
the person posting it just wrote to the pgsql-announce owner to ask
about this rejection:

Can you please give me some info about why my post was rejected? I'm

not sure if I need to re-formulate it or if the subject is

inappropriate.

What do we want to tell them?
