I wouldn't comment on that, but having read so much about MySQL in Postgres'
lists, I sure have a disliking for MySQL, so much so that I haven't bothered
even downloading and installing it even once!!!

Does anyone know of threads in MySQL lists/forums where they run a
propaganda against Postgres or if they downplay us? That would be an
interesting read!

I would suggest trying to find the customer list of Postgres derivatives,
such as EnterpriseDB and Greenplum. There are some pretty big names there
too. This, in some ways, recognizes customers' faith in Postgres.
