I agree with Geoff. I was pushing things to the limit, just to make a
point. We must find a way to say 'IB users welcome', but spreading
what is important: this is a FireBird newsgroup, but we like to help
IB users. That's our spirit after all. That's why things become so
far. That's why people move to FireBird.

But it's different to have IB users as 'guests'. With the newsgroups
name as FB that users will know that we are mainly FB users.

Anyway, we must discuss all details.
