>>A company provides for a special way of honoring loyal customers who promote and support their products. To these customers they give honor, gifts, special access to tech resources and occasional inside information. In return, the loyal customer agrees to not to divulge that inside information<<
I thought we were talking about an award for providing technical support to on-line communities. The above sounds more like a Beta programme or Loyalty scheme. Apart from anything else, it is not really consistent with MS's earlier decision to phase the MVP programme out... and I don't remember receiving inside info via that means. Actually from memory the VFP MVP forum was hardly used.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
