This is for all the current MVPs and Microsoft Group
=================================

I am participation in Microsoft Windows XP and Office Newsgroup from last 2
years. In this time period, I tried to help others through best of my
knowledge. Please do not take me wrong as this was not just because I wanted
to become MVP. In this time period I also have significant improvement in my
knowledge.

But I am amazed that till date I have not receive a single comment through
any MVP or Microsoft Group about my ranking in MVP. 106 helpful post are not
enough to be recognized as an MVP or do I need to participate in other
activities? Am I missing something?

Your responses in this regard will highly be appreciated.

Just a suggestion. A Google returns 1,610 posts:

I know I was never taken seriously when I posted using the clunky Web
interface. Have you considered using OE or WM as your newsreader?

Does it really matters? VERY STRANGE.

That means, next time I should also consider the way I reply to the posts. I
can say it is very annoying and unacceptable for me. What If I still want to
use the web-interface? That means they will never or will take more time to
recognized me as an MVP.

Waiting for reply.

You gotta LIVE here.

And post until your eyes begin to bleed from staring at the monitor.

While not sure, I would also suspect that you need to post an accurate email
address (fudged to prevent bots from finding the real address) so that MS
could contact you, if and when you would qualify for the status. Since I
don't have any interest in MVP status, just want to try to help others, I
don't use a real email address in my signature or message details.

Probably. For starters, even I have posted more in less time than 106 posts
in 2 years. However, I have a somewhat abrasive attitude, and have rubbed a
few people (including at least two MVPs) the wrong way. One "Awshit" wipes
out a boatload of "Attaboys".

I am not really intersted in the MVP, anyway. I got something similar in
another forum (web only, no NNTP service), and it means I really have to
watch my tongue. I didn't ask for their MVM; and I get an occasional
nastygram from forum moderators (there are none of those in these groups;
but I would be surprised if those who award MVPs don't monitor them after
the award) when I step over the line.

Another MVP has to *nominate* you, and other MVPs choose to vote you
in. You can participate for years before getting nominated and it
depends on how beneficial you have been and how the nominator
perceives your help. Trying to earn points is not how you get to be
an MVP. In fact, because you have admitted trying to earn an MVP is
the very reason why you should not get one. Are you going to leave if
you don't get nominated? If so, you don't deserve the nomination.
That you think you deserve the MVP badge means you do not deserve it.
You participate because you want to, not to slap a shiny badge on your
moniker.

An MVP wannabe that uses a webnews-for-dummies interface. Uh huh,
real MVP material there ... not!

106 posts. Geez, a extreme beginner that dreams of MVPdom. I just
honed my Xacto blade. Guess I'm a heart surgeon now. You will need
several THOUSAND posts and YEARS of participation unless your help was
super stellar (but not evidenced by your post here).

Begging for the MVP badge should guarantee that you won't get it. And
from your low rate of participation, you definitely haven't earned
even a glimmer of nomination.
