What I found interesting about this, looking at who/what won the other
awards, is that this website mainly attracts the Java/Enterprise sort of
developers.  I bet if we asked a bunch of Ruby on Rails developers we'd
have gotten a different answer.

But this, I think, is actually good news- if you think Postgres' real
competitors are Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, and not MySQL.  In other words,
you're targetting the Java/Enterprise people a heck of a lot more than
we're targetting the PHP people.  And you're *succeeding*.
