Yeah, I can see that.
Let me tell you up front that your opinion is not at all helpful to
either the cause of PostgreSQL or to the problems between you and the
MySQL people, especially when stated like this.
This is the Internet. The right thing to do if somebody spreads bad
information (a biased, inaccurate, wrong, deceptive, what-have-you)
crash-me test would be to write your own test which either prefers
PostgreSQL, or is reasonably neutral.
I'll shut up now, until the first of my patches is in the crash-me
suite. Perhaps that will have _some_ impact here.
