>>Latest FoxTalk? Which is that? The December 2000 issue doesn't seem to have anyone that fits that description...<<

If we keep this up, I'll end up in the "top 50 posters" and become a MVP!

Come on. You know what the latest Foxtalk is. Why ask? You can see who the MVPs are in it. Why not just volunteer what "on-line forum" they provided technical assistance in to such an extent as to be MVPs? This isn't personal at all, it is a good faith question that nobody needs to be sensitive about if the process is as transparent as I am told, IWHT.

Maybe I misunderstood what an "online community" is or what "contribution" means. Maybe I completely missed the forum they contribute to. In a transparent process I should be able to ask without being made to feel as if I am kicking a sacred cow, which I am starting to feel.

FWIW, people routinely ask about surgeons' qualifications and experience before they get operations done and only the surgeon who cannot justify him/herself takes it badly. It is a professional norm. If you can't ask without being made to feel hostile then the qualification has no distinguishing value.

While you are at it, is > L < still a MVP? She certainly deserves to be a "life-MVP" IMHO for all her huge contributions... except we don't have life-MVP's any more, is that right?
