Sure...but as far as my online support goes... I am not charging people. Go to my website, and you will see that I have the MVP logo, as an illustration that I have won the award 4 times... As an individual, Michel is an MVP, and he can advertise that himself, and he can on his company website....

However, as far as using the program as part of a promotional campaign to bolster the value of the UT, that is a different thing all together. The UT is a private for-profit enterprise. If he wants to give something back to the MVP program, by providing MVP's with PUTM's, then I would not have too much of an argument with him saying that the UT hosts the MVP program here... The fact that the banner is at the bottom of the home page does show some good taste... However, he is not offering PUTM's to MVP's as is his choice. And, I do respect his right to make that choice. However, he should then remove the MVP banner from the UT homepage... That is my whole argument. He does that, I will then get off this jihad of sorts...

You see, it is a very simple issue....


>Maybe you do not [but I see this in your tag line], but don't MVPs use that designation to their own benefit, also? I realize this is an individual promotional and not a site [banner] promotional, but there is an analogy there.
