First, thanks! I Completely agree on your points, I've seen the biggest value come from relationship built over years not over a few isolated incidents. I'll add a couple additional thoughts: 1. Several of them may cover some generic tech or market growth, especially in the tech space around open source. I've often had conversations with some just around the growth of Postgres where there's no product, helping support a community project can be generally helpful to them at times. 2. They get a lot of email, as we all do, so I might shy away from sending too much. From my experience it's often easier to follow on twitter and start to engage in conversations at the opportune times.
