I'd recommend an option in .psqlrc to disable it, if possible.  That
would be in line with what alot of other "splash-screen" type things do.

I honestly don't care that I get a few lines of garbage as I start psql - I never really look at it myself (the first dozen times I used pg it was probably helpful to have the help commands there). So what if you get a few lines of text as you start a program, it scrolls off the screen with everything else, it doesn't fill up your drive in log files and I doubt the 250 bytes being sent across the network for those running remotely is going to chew up anyone's bandwidth allocation.

I do think that an rc file option (or even a ./configure option if you want to go that far) is fine for those in the know to adjust to their tastes - a better option than not show it once a .psql_history exists.
