JR> Question for you: is there still a private VFP MVP Newsgroup?

Thought so. That was one of the "elitist" things that made me uncomfortable. A private online forum for people who distinguish themselves in online forums. Why?

>>Oh, one thing you might consider in light of some of your previous posts and questions. Since last fall there have been 5 new VFP MVPs. Consider that in light of some of my earlier statements.<<

I saw that and it is great to see new blood.

FWIW, there is nothing wrong with "life membership" as long as people keep their skills up. Many professions (law for example) support this ideal and once a university professor, you retain that title for life even after leaving academia. I have no problem with a similar status for MVP's as long as we are open and transparent about it.
