>The problem with that observation is that very often people assume that because someone is in support of the MS position on an issue that they are necessarily sycopath for MS. That measn that just because an MVP doesn't agree with others regarding a Microsoft issue doesn't mean the MVP is cottoning to MS. In the 6+ years that I have been an MVP I have Never had anyone at Microsoft ask me to say or not say anything.

Jim,

I am only after obvious MS issues. I've seen typical example of an MVP who is not "ALWAYS" on the side of MS but I've seen some who are "ALWAYS". It's a balancing act (should be two way street) - popular or unpopular - knowing the customer standpoint against MS standpoint. Ofcourse, we have our own yard stick in measuring up things. The way MVP view things is totally different from our's as an ordinary customers. Although MVPs are customers too but with a bit of attachment with MS.
