Most Valuable Pirate (MVP)

[Enkidu]

I have noticed that some people are using the titles MVP after their
names. Can I use these titles indicating that I am the Most Valuable
Pirate of Microsoft's software?

Well, you could use that title. You could also call yourself Miss
Perspicacia Tick, BSc, MA, PhD, PARP and POOTLE. In either case it
would be misrepresentation.

MVP is an actual real award and not an assumed title:

If you want to brag in a public newsgroup that you are illegally
pirating software, that is your choice.

Those of us who post with the MVP tag do so because we are here to
help others and are proud of the award that Microsoft has given us.

Realizing this might be Troll Food,
Jeff

That's not true, most of the MVPs here are very good; they provide their own time, and some even have websites setup to assist others, using their own resources to maintain those sites.

Now, OTH, there are a few here, of which I won't name, I feel are virtually worthless, and are no more than mimicking, copy-n-paste, MS microbots that toe the MS line, but enough said anyway!

Now that's a true statement!

I agree for the most part but even the "not-so-great" MVPs actually have
been helpful to people and that's what really counts, isn't it? If M$
hadn't noticed their helpfulness they would not have been given the
title in the first place.
