If the choice of site design is going to be based on your personal opinion
then could we please stop this thread now. It is a rare occurance indeed
for a someone's tastes to change based on other people's arguments.

If the goal is to solicit feedback from the postgresql community, then
accept the comments and give them equal weight to your own. Otherwise
we're back to personal taste.

Either way, you should decide if you want feedback or not and let people
know. It's nice to only want positive feedback but it rarely comes that
way.
