Evidently not. I have been saying for quite a while that Viv deserves it. Let's not forget the origins of the MVP program. It was part of Microsoft's transition from in-house support to user support. At that time it meant online support, answering technical questions. That need has not gone away. Personally I read everything Viv posts. Pure gold.

If you've got good contacts inside Microsoft, please pass this on. And say it's from a 5 time MVP.
