Wholeheartedly agreed! I see this happen many times here at our
university. People look at PG's website, then look at MySQL's site and see
MySQL's (very misleading) "benchmarks", and since they don't have the db
background and are looking for an esay to use DB, they go with MySQL.

Let me know how can I be of help. It should only take you one day to
write a good document listing PG's features.
