Honestly, I got over that a *long* time ago. The reality is, people who
want to use postgresql, do the research themselves and then call us (if
they need us). If you recall I don't have any car salesmen, like other
companies. People that do business with us, because of our resume not
because some guy in a tie with a split tongue told them that we are the
best postgresql company out there.

Could we get more business if the press was more accurate? Sure... but
then again if the press was more accurate, they wouldn't be able to sell
any advertising.

I didn't get any FUD from the article is my point. I just got ignorance
but perceptions vary. I can see your frustration from the fact that they
wrote a book on it but writing a book is easy. Writing a good book is hard.
