I agree, especially given the postgres pages are not explicit/clear that
the download link is a 3rd party link. The OPs question was quite
reasonable and all that was required was to point them to EDB for
assistance. Thankfully, a number of community members did politely do
this and I'm sure the OP was appreciative for the pointers. It has also
highlighted an area for possible clarification/improvement on the
postgres.org site.
