I see no problem with that.

Agreed, you might want to look here:

Note that there is no trademark on "pg", so those policies don't
really apply here.  I concur that there's no issue with Jean
using "pg" as a name prefix --- there are lots of other people
doing the same.

Please can someone advise how to remove myself from this email list.

See the List-Unsubscribe link, in the headers of every email you
receive from the list.

            regards, tom lane

Ah, now found it.

I believe that link should be in the body of the email not hidden in the headers.

That's a fairly bad idea, actually.  Aside from it being a distracting
nuisance most of the time, people who include the entire body of a
message in their replies (which sadly is way too many people) would
be exposing the info needed to unsubscribe them.  Also, we can't
modify the bodies of messages as they pass through the list server
without breaking various anti-spam protocols.
