Not you personally (or singularly) ... you are just the 'focal point' ...
everyone touting 'the community' when their sample is *usually* less then
10 ppl that are the vocal minority instead of majority ...

You have a half dozen ppl on this list that don't like it (and, as I
posted in a seperate thread, agreeing with you, I don't like the 'old
banners' on the new site ... I think it detracts from it, and advocate,
like you, removing them) ... I throw back at you 4500 members of the
community that *use* the google ads to find other resources, and you throw
back a 'who cares about them, they aren't on this list' sort of response
...

Personally ... I think its *good* that we promote and help ppl find the
commercial side of PostgreSQL ... if you go search archives and don't find
an answer you are looking for, is there anything wrong with clicking on
the link to Command Prompt and looking for commercial help instead?
