Why is this something to apologize for?  I used to use MySQL for
everything and now use PostgreSQL for the majority of my DB needs.  I
certainly advocate PG now to anyone who will listen, but I don't
think it helps to portray MySQL as a POS or regret its existence.
It's a very useful tool if used correctly.  IMO, people who are able
to effectively use PG/MySQL/Oracle/XYZ appropriately are more valuable
than those that blindly use the same one for every single task.

Sorry - I just noticed this in a couple recent posts and I felt like
voicing my $0.02.
