It would probably be appropriate to point out that there are numerous sources of professional support for PostgreSQL. http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support As someone who ran a consulting business for 25 years and has been on both sides of the calls for assistance on recovery from database problems (and currently not in that business, so I have no ax to grind here), that post was inappropriate for the list. I don't think anyone would fault you (or anyone else) for making a polite offer of assistance off-list, as long as you quietly bow out if they're not interested; but anybody who is a professional in this business should know better than to post that to the list. There are several reasons, and they should be obvious. -Kevin
