Re: Best tools to monitor and fine tune postgres

Actually, on the whole it is admirably on-topic as to how what seems like such a simple question from a newcomer's perspective is perceived by those on the list to whom that question is being posed.  With a number of the responses giving indirect answers to the question since it, as has been established, is a common question with answers available from sources other than volunteers writing new emails or searching themselves for old replies.

On a thread of interest to newcomers it seems like a reasonably productive spot to describe the reality, which is what is being done here - not providing excuses.  We aren't apologetic for these realities, while understanding that improvement is possible (if hard to achieve - technical and personal).
