The thing is it sounds like he is just promoting his own fork he started 11 months ago, rather than "starting a discussion."

> We suggest to put errbit on PG. For those who want to try - the code here: https://github.com/Undev/errbit/tree/pg-upstream

The problem here is that the bad English grammar could have given the wrong impression. Maybe he is just saying:

"hey guys, you should consider migrating to postgresql. here's some code you can check out that has worked for us."

Rather than:

"hey guys, screw Errbit/MongoDB, use our fork!"

... after thouroughly testing it in production for 11 months and verifying that they had a point.

This is perfectly valid. A pull req might have been better, but this starts a discussion as well, and might prompt the project owner to say "Sounds great! Submit a pull request," or alternatively, "Sounds cool! We'll provide a link to your fork on our page." Both good.

It seems that latter one is far better description of how people feels.
