Charles,

I am curious why you include "Defrocked MVP" in your message signature. Not whining, surely? That doesn't seem your style so probably not. I am also an ex-MVP -- for 5 or 6 years when there were only about 5 of them each year -- but am not confused about why I no longer am one: I stopped being an MVP. No one to blame but myself, and I don't blame myself, either. I am perfectly content being a chatterhead.
