And it is a flawed argument for the above reasons. The
"only" reason people can come up with is that it is
"good enough," but that requires some understanding
and quantification of "enough" that I submit has not
been achieved.

may i rephrase your argument?  what u really r saying
is, there is no situation where mysql is good enough. 
because if the 'dev' knew more (s)he wouldn't have
picked mysql!

markw = screw mysql

because you feel so strongly about this, even though i
currently have no _need_ for another database, i will
check out others, just for information purposes.  u
win vs me.  this time...
