[postgis-users] Re: [pgsql-www] [GENERAL] Map of Postgresql Users (OT)

Thanks.

Some people raised privacy issues, so we try to give an indication of

store any other information from the email.

I think the concern was combining location information with other  
information. So, we are unable to add names with the entries :-(
