And it was the community that drew me in. Very early in my database career, I was having massive performance problems with my postgres install. I sent a very sharply toned message to the postgres performance mailing list. Within hours of that message, I was trading stack traces with Tom Lane. He was under no obligation to help me; in fact, I was, in hindsight, kinda a dick about it. But he did. You probably can't buy support of that caliber, no matter how much money you throw at it. YM, as always, MV.

Sure you can. TL works for Crunchy Data [https://www.crunchydata.com/ https://www.crunchydata.com/] and I suppose he gets involved in solving customer issues.
