I missed that comment, but thank you. I worked hard for 4 years to get it and am proud of it.I believe you. I also believed you when you said that a disappointed former recipient can rise again if they rebuild their former contribution level and meet the standard. Both items are excellent news for the award IMHO. MS has done something right again. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
