I don't know whether you want to be a MVP, but if you keep it up you deserve to be.

I became an MVP to get the free laser pen and to meet chicks. ;)

In all seriousness, both you and Marcia make good points.

I started answering .NET questions and wanted to write articles before the MVP even became a possibility. For the geek in all of us, nothing is more satisfying than learning a technique, and being able to pass on that experience to someone who is trying to learn the same thing. I'd probably do the same things with or without the MVP (though the MSDN subscription is a delightful bonus). So in that sense, Marcia is right.

But out of sheer curiosity, I went back and looked at some of Naomi's solutions. Sure, a number of them are just links to other posts by other members. But there are certainly a number of them that certainly aren't. So on Marcia's second comment, I tend to agree with you. The fact is (and this is not a jab at the product, because the same thing is starting to happen with .NET), a high number of VFP questions are ones that have been asked already, and already answered by a number of people.
