After the onsluaght of wimpering, crying, stamping of feet, holding breath until face turn blue, I'm pleased to see today's chatterbox a little less cluttered. I don't turn it off because I've known some of these people for a while now and living outside the US I like to hear what progammers are talking about. Hooowwwever, I don't like reading the crap of late. Seems to me, if someone wants to contribute, they can contribute regardless of how they see themselves in this arena, or any other venue. MVP is not a lordship or a title deserving of some special consideration nor is it a mark of class distinction. It doesn't even mean you know any more than anyone else about anything. Last I heard MS is not accredited by any board or organization. It is just a slap on the back from members of a fraternity. Try taking your MVP (if you had one) and get credits for it at a real school. That is why I wouldn't be able to care less if Michael put 300 MVP billboards all over UT even if I were bestowed with such an honor. I would, nontheless, use it as a self promotion tool as most MVP people do. Having said that, I would add one more thing, the same people who have been complaining about paying (using the excuse that it's not the paying that REALLY bothers them) were in fact blasting non-payers with character assasination, snide remarks, and all around name calling not long ago. Oh, well, can I get back to work now?
