PgAdmin has its own list/support channels where problems and suggestions
can be sent. This list is for reporting bugs (which this is not) on the
PostgreSQL server and the projects official related programs.

suggest become annoying once you’ve learned how things work, for which the
documentation is the place to reference. In this case the syntax of
