How to become an MVP?

[Peter Rilling]

What is the process for becomming an MVP. I understand that a person needs
to be nominated but is that something that I have to wait for, or do I make
my desire known so that people know that I want to be an MVP?

Nope, you don't need to apply or anything. Basically, you wait to get
noticed

Yeah, and if you haven't noticed, it can takes years I've been
trolling...err...responding to these newsgroups since 2002 or so...and
haven't had a hint of a nomination Maybe if I actually post useful
responses....

I actually paid someone off. If you have some $ to spare, I'll put you
in touch with my guy over at MS.

That's a joke people.

I will email you the money right away!

Is this badge of honour important to you?
So you can be as cool as Jon and Nicholas? Because they are. =)

Really. Don't strive for titles and awards. Let your life come first and
progress in many different ways. Learn to code. Learn to play an instrument.
Be a friend, a lover and a partner. Clean your apartment! Do stuff! And be
happy if someone awards you for it. But don't go looking for credit. It is
often a waste of time.

Me myself and I would be happy if I got an MVP. Not sure that will ever
happen though. I think it's a good thing that Microsoft is really careful on
who they award and that they award seldom.

Hey, everyone can make a plaque.

I hereby award many people in this newsgroup the MVCNA title.
It's the most famous Michaels Very Cool Newsgroup Addicts Award. =)
