I do not see the OmniTI (being coy about it is silly) posting by Theo as
anything other than what it is, a job posting that is PostgreSQL related
that talks about what the company is.

It isn't like he said,

For only 2500.00 you too can have a Remote DBA on your site.

He said, "We are looking for a DBA, this is the OmniTI Culture, if you
think you fit in, send me a resume."

I find it completely reasonable and not in violation of the policy
stated above.
