>>As far as the other question goes, what does posting a list have to do with whether or not you think they're deserving? <<

The issue of being "deserving" was raised by you, not me.

Posting a list with accompanying details of what forum MVP's are active in, allows everybody to benefit from their expertise, supports the assertion that the process is transparent, and avoids any suggestion of elitism or "behind closed doors" activity. That you need to ask permission to publish a list of MVP's who have apparently distinguished themselves by providing assistance to on-line communities, is not reassuring.

Is there any chance of seeing what forum these people are active in? I ask because I do not recognise some of the names and am obviously missing out on their expertise by not being part of their on-line community. I'd really like to participate.

I see > L < on the list. Great! What forum, please?
