Let me join you in that, John. Clearly, the user community is what made microsoft change its position on the MVP program, and the support from people here on UT as well as from other sources was what convinced MS to bring back the MVPs.

I can't remember Microsoft reversing their position on anything like this before, especially not in this short a period of time. Thanks to everyone who went out and let Microsoft know that their users weren't happy with the decision to terminate the MVP program!
