Re: Number 9

Gee, you heard some rumblings from a "couple" of MVPs out of over 4000? Yep, a real groundswell there.

Of course, in the past, you had the VB MVPs uprising (still in the program) and now from the FoxPro MVPs (still in the program).

I don't know why you dislike the MVP program so much, but from an insider, the program is just fine. You get out of it what you put into it. Me, I do a lot of support work in the Microsoft Office and Outlook forums. That is my reward - knowing that I helped some poor confused or angry person to get their programs to work the way they should.

As for the other comment about MVPs being in Microsoft's back pocket, I guess you have never been to a MVP summit where the Microsoft folks get raked over the coals by practically every product group MVPs. No? Didn't think so. For your information, the MVPs are some of the most vocal critics of Microsoft when they drop the ball. If all you see is the cheering on when they do something right, you are only seeing half the picture.
