I disagree whole heartedly. If you look at general, it is basically
PostgreSQL-Support.
It is not a place to go for general discussion about postgresql.

This is an extremely negative approach to a very positive offer for
help. A lot
of people don't have the time to wade through different threads. They want
to talk about something specific and see results.

Personally I haven't see any offtopic posts however, considering that this
gentlement is probably taking time out of his money making day to donate
a considerable service (time wise, and financially) ... We should take
reasonable
measures to insure that he is provided the tools he needs to provide
that service.

If the postgresql community doesn't agree, I will happily setup a list
today for the
discussion.


Sincerely,
