I think they were extremely positive. I did not count one single post
regarding postgres as negative. A few mentions of historical problems
(mostly baseless), that's all. People are *still* claiming mysql is
faster, which it isn't, except for inserts. Oh well.

Mysql is just more organized from a marketing standpoint and has a
press-friendly windows port. But all this is changing :)
