I semi regularly post on the MySQL General Discussion list, and not
here (until now). The knowledge base is much deeper and there is much
more traffic here. MySQL has a very low barrier to entry, and allows
people to form very bad habits. Postgres has a superset of the MySQL
features.

I wish I worked in a Postgres environment.
