Re: How do I tell pgAdmin 4 to not harass me with pointless extra clicks every single time I want to use it?

This type of unprofessional and disrespectful message is not welcome on the
pgAdmin mailing list. It does nothing except upset and annoy the people
that have spent hundreds or thousands of hours continually improving
pgAdmin, and if anything probably makes those people at the very minimum
subconsciously push any comment you make to the back of the queue. I would
not be surprised if some of them have kill-filed you at this point.

Anyone is welcome to report a bug. Anyone is welcome to provide
constructive feedback on how pgAdmin may be improved. Anyone is welcome to
contribute patches or improvements they choose to work on. The developers
work extremely hard to continually improve pgAdmin, and constructive
feedback is critical to that.

Ultimately though, pgAdmin is free and open source. Neither it, or the
developers owe you anything or have any obligation to you whatsoever - and
they are certainly under no obligation to pay any attention to rude emails.
If you disagree, then feel free to use a different tool for managing
PostgreSQL.

If you are unable to present your feedback and suggestions in a cordial and
respectful manner, then I will remove you from the lists. You have already
been warned by one senior PostgreSQL community member.
