I remember! :-)

>>According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Man the flagg has connections to Norway.
>>
>>The flag of the Isle of Man shows a triskelion, the Three Legs of Man emblem, in the centre of a red flag. The three legs are joined at the thigh and bent at the knee. In order to have the toes pointing clockwise on both sides of the flag, a two-sided emblem is used.
>>
>>The Manx flag is based on the coat-of-arms of the last recognized Norse King of the Isle of Man, Magnus III. A modified version of this coat-of-arms is still in use by Magnus' descendants in Norway, the Skanke family.
>>
>>The triskelion has its roots in an early Celtic sun symbol that was also used by many other ancient civilizations including the Mycenaeans and the Lycians. The flag is similar to that of Sicily.
>>
>>A red ensign with the triskelion in the fly is used as civil ensign.
>>
>>
>>
>>>The three legs symbol seems to have been adopted in the Thirteenth Century as the armorial bearings of the native kings of the Isle of Man, whose dominion also included the Hebrides - the Western Isles of Scotland.
>>>
>>>After 1266, when the native dynasty ended and control of the Island passed briefly to the Crown of Scotland and then permanently to the English Crown, the emblem was retained, and among the earliest surviving representations are those of the Manx Sword of State, thought to have been made in the year 1300 AD. The Three Legs also appeared on the Manx coinage of the seventeenth-nineteenth centuries, and are still in everyday use in the Manx Flag.
>>>
>>>Why the Three Legs were adopted as the royal arms of the Manx kingdom is unknown. It was originally a symbol of the Sun, the seat of Power and Life. In ancient times the emblem was particularly connected with the island of Sicily (probably because of its triangular outline) but the Sicilian "Legs" were always naked and generally displayed Medusa's head at the central point.
>>>
>>>A rather similar device was popular amongst the Celts and Norsemen in NW Europe, and in view of this it has been suggested that the Manx Three Legs were a heraldic modification of a native badge or emblem. Support for this theory may be seen in the appearance of the 'triskele', or simplified "Three Legs" emblem, on coins of the tenth century Norse King, Anlaf Cuaran, whose dominion included Dublin and the Isle of Man; and it is probable that the later Manx Kings were a branch of the same dynasty.
>>>
>>>All the early examples of the Manx "Legs" show them as if running sunwise (i.e. clockwise) and to that extent the heraldic symbol of the Island still retained an essential feature of the ancient pagan sun-symbol. Although sometimes drawn anti-clockwise, that is singularly inappropriate.

>>>>Thank you for your suggestion. It looks a bit like a runner without a head, with the left arm extended towards the front. :)

>>>>>Personally, I like the Isle of Man :o) It's a colorful and interesting flag :o)

>>>>>>Good morning Peter;

>>>>>>I understand your concern and below are my thoughts on this topic. Personally, I do not wish to do anything negative against another person. It is a matter of my value system.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Why not have those interested eMail AK and MA, and let them know your views on this subject? I am not sure of what the end result might be. You could be terminated from your employment as a gesture of your concern on this topic. If you are interested you could contact Microsoft and recommend NN as a MVP.

>>>>>>Others have already begun to take action to protect themselves including you! :) Remove reference to your place of employment and where you live. Then you will have a better chance of protecting yourself and expressing your opinion.

>>>>>>The entire topic is distasteful. It is like living in a den of cobras. You do not know from whom or when a strike might occur. This is a “community”? It is more than dysfunctional! Perhaps a new category of developer could be created indicating who hurt others the most for the year.

>>>>>>>I'm considering to write an email to MS, asking them to think at least twice before they again award the MVP status to AK and MA. This is not nice of me, I know. But here are some facts and arguments:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>1) AK has put his MVP status in the signature of the letter and in this case I regard that as an abuse (see: http://hyp.viafox.nl/ut/nnak.pdf).
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>2) A MVP can be expected to not only be superior in technical knowledge, but also to adhere to good rules of conduct. I'm of opinion that they haven't in this case.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>3) The MVP program tries to stimulate the community members being helpful to the community, esp. in a technical way. It is exactly that type of attitude that AK and MA tried to frustrate in the case of NN. On many occasions they intimidated her to refrain from being present in the forums so much time. The letter to the employer is the ultimate proof of this. Also they criticized her for the quality of her answers, at the same time not accepting her occasional criticism of their answers, thus further intimidating her.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Also I'm considering to propose MS to give NN a MVP award for the coming year. A collection of her many contributions of the past year in the various forums makes very clear that her knowledge and willingness to help are exceptional.
>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>If you're interested we might send the email on behalf of more community members. It may be that you don't agree with one of my considerations, that's fine with me. Or perhaps you have your own arguments and want to write your own email, that's also fine with me. Or perhaps you want to criticize my arguments here first, that's also fine with me. I can be reached via private message, private email and here publicly.
