And, of the almost 5,000 worldwide MS mvps, how many are listed on that
page? Wonder how many of those 5,000 mvps are even aware of that private,
non-microsoft related site?

No offense Mike but ...
You have it all worked out, eh.

Some may not be public because their employers might think that they
would possibly do free work in works time.

But a good employee wouldn't allow that situation to come about. Firing
is a lot faster when deceit is involved.
Some employers may consider the MVP award status to be in competition
with what the company does/supplies.

A good employee would not endanger that consideration. Firing is a lot
faster when deceit is involved.
Some MVPs may not be in a position politically.

Same as above. To me, all of those define a deceitful person, not
someone I could place a lot of trust in. If any of the above are true,
then they should stop using the title. Using the "title" is where the
words for ego and narcissist come into play when apparently a title
becomes more important than a job and security.
PCButts is a wannabe..

And he's chosen a good nick too, IMO "^).

I am not claiming to be an "MS-MVP"! What's your excuse?

Well, if you ask the right MVPs, they would be the only ones not aware
of it. The same goes for aumha. Um, ha?
It's a good list of sites and I've always had good luck with it. Not
because they're MVPs necessarily, but because they know what they're
talking about the vast majority of the time. I don't care if they're
VBMs, if they're good, I'll work with them.

There have been one or two I have seen. PCButts is one and the fake Nass is
the other. Aside from that, the only reason that people complain is because
they have not been 'invited' to accept the MVP award.

nah, i long disagreed with
the notion that mvp's were
volunteers.

volunteering is donating
time without compensation.

seems to me that being permitted
to use a title like ms mvp is
compensation as well as an
award.

seems to me that there are
other benefits provided to
ms-mvp's too.

can you think of anything
that you have received at
a discount or for free as the
result of being an ms-mvp
awardee?

if so, then you are not a
volunteer and in fact obligated
to perform in accordance to
the mvp program directives.

--------

just because microsoft doesn't
compensate ms-mvp's with
money, it does compensate
them with other things that
are of value.

and in return, microsoft ascertains
the benefit of cheap customer
service for its microsoft customers.

of course, the above applies to
the discussion groups and the
q&a's, but ms-mvps are also
awarded to authors and code
writers as well in order to dilute
the true purpose of the mvp
program, ie microsoft's bottom
line.

Why don't you adjust your word wrap so we don't have to scroll so much to
see your idiotic replies.

perhaps, you should learn to keep your comments and criticisms to the
subject at hand. (something in here about the kettle and the pot..) You
mis-spoke when you said "volunteering is donating time without
compensation." Wiki disagrees, did you look it up??? The US military is
an all volunteer force....they get paid as they well should. Your mind is
as narrow as your postings....

The Real Truth MVP

The military is not all volunteer, you can volunteer to go but you can't
volunteer to leave if you don't like it.
