    Hmmm  -  the  address in the graphic, the one in the text and
    the   mailto:   hyperlink   on   it   are   all   the   same:
    <meskes@postgresql.org> - or do I need new glasses?

    Now it starts, so let's grab the chance.

    Well,  the  ~wieck  developers  page was just a quick hack to
    demonstrate how my version would look like. But it  seems  to
    be  the  right  time  to  tidy up the entire content before I
    release the lock and hand it back  to  Bruce  and  Vince.   I
    wondered  all  the  time I worked on it why there's a pin for
    Neil while he's not mentioned in the text at all?!?

    Would ANYONE who's listed or pinned on the page/graphic,  and
    those who want to be, please drop me a little note including:

    o   the  complete  name,  maybe  title  (if  they  want)  and
        location   (like   {in|near}   Hamburg,   Germany).   For
        locations usually unknown in the world (like Harsefeld in
        my case) we use a bigger town close to that and say near.
    o   the LAT/LON position of their location so I don't have to
        lookup everyone in my maps,
    o   the correct eMail address,
    o   and  most  important, the contributions they have made to
        PostgreSQL.
