Point of pedantic order: there hasn't been anything called Postgres for about 10 years. The name of the current project and product has always been PostgreSQL.

See the history of postgreSQL as one source for this information.

To put it another way, the PostgreSQL hackers are just as offended when it's called "postgres" as when we see our beloved language spelled as "PERL". Ugh. It's a big tip-o-the-clue-meter that the person is not very familiar with the project.
