Read it using elinks, that's what I did.

Well, I used wget on that link and was able to get the whole article, and read it in my Firefox. I think sharing that HTML file here would be in violation of their Terms of Use [1] , so can't share here.

Before the "Bottom Line" section, I got the feeling that Joe used reverse psychology to show that Postgres is a better option in quite a few circumstances.

I also posted a couple of corrections in discussion section (had to register, though :), apart from what Richard had posted.
