I wonder if that is true? It sounds apocryphal. Great story!

>Calvin Hsia told me how the MVP idea started. He said that he kept a list (in his days before he was with MS) of the top posters on the Compuserve Fox Forum. This was refered to as "Calvin's List" and the people were named "MVPs" (Most Verbose Person). Eventually MS adopted the idea and the rest is history.
