I have read to emails to one of the postgresql lists,

The other databases mentioned were Oracle, MySql, and
SQL Server.
That was likely me, tho it wasn't thousands, it was somewhere near 100
or so.  It was more a case of the other DBAs not doing their due
diligence and testing their hardware back 10 or so years ago, when
hard drives and RAID controllers often lied about fsync.

I fairly certain the 2 emails were from different people, and I read them within the last 12 (6?) months.
