>>Like it or not, when a newcomer to the forum asks a question, he/she has no idea what the credentials of the respondants are. Seeing the blue envelope of an MVP (once the newcomer figured out what a blue envelope was *grin*) was at least an assurance that the person responding has known what he/she was talking about in the past.

>In this one, I would like to inform you that the removal of the blue enveloppe has been requesting by several MVPs since a few months for various reasons.

I also liked a way of knowing the credentials of the person responding, but this could easily be done with something in the signature block by each person if they so desire.
