John,
This thread is for all of us. It's just that I am not an MVP, and I am not dreaming of to be. Having said that, I just speak on the same level as an ordinary visitor of the UT.
Mr. Dodge said it better than what I can say. I strongly believe in his principles in the Electronic Media. Mr. Booth also did the same.
>>6. If you are an MVP, don’t be biased because Bill Gates will not save your soul from hell.

>>7. If you are an MVP, always remind yourself that you are there because of the technical ignorance of others.

>No... the MVP is an award for numerous and accurate - (although it can be debated how much accurate means anymore judging by some of the MVP's we have today) in online communities....

>Tell me Jess, even if the general perception of a post was rude, and the MVP gave some solid technical advice, would you NOT use the advice because of the rudeness???? Somewho, I don't think so.....
>
>Lets be clear here.... me being an MVP does not carry some special responsbility that I have to be civil all the time. This bull shit about "not befitting your MVP status" is nonesense. I think Walter Meester is one that is fond of that phrase. No, my responsibility is to be technically accurate, and to correct obvious technical inaccuracies I find. Folks on the whole, appeciate the fact that I and others do this....MVP's should be held to a higher technical standard... that is it....

>If anybody would care to debate me on this...please..... step up to the plate...
