>>>>>>>>>How can you mistake what I say. I'm relating what it takes NOW to be an MVP. I have talked to 100's of them and if you remove your foot from your mouth and question a few about what it takes, then you'll know for sure. Every one I've nominated has had to do more community events to get their award. Just ask instead of bluntly assuming that because you were, you know....

>>>>>>>Since when is pointing out the fallacy in you logic, or lack thereof, bickering? Like I said my experience is not universal... ask any current MVPs what they do to keep it current... we know Bonnie doesn't travel much, but ask any other 10 mvps.... if that's not too much trouble. You like to spout your facts, but unless its written in the NYT, you don't want to verify them.

>>>LOL, I was thinking just the opposite. I'm a somebody now?

>>Yes, you are. That was a really nasty thing of me to say. That was alcohol talking. It brings out the worst in me. I sincerely apologize to you and everyone else I was offensive to.

>I honestly didn't take any offense to it. You did provide advice to me several years ago and edited my resume for me. For that I am grateful. I thought it was funny making a distinction between "nobody" and "somebody", as if I've made it in any way. I used to be concerned about "being somebody" any trying to answer posts like KG and Bonnie, but I really don't care about it anymore. This is only a way to make a paycheck, and if I decided to move onto another trade next week then no big deal. I recommend that you start treating it more like a job than a lifestyle. It relieves an immense amount of pressure.

To me this is a big mystery in life.

Please if you make it could you tell me what it is that you made.

I frequently hear or read that people made it but they never say what they made.

Enquiring minds want to know <g>.

So from that answer I could try to make it also. But now comes another question. Do we all have to make the same thing to make it?
