To be honest, I really don't care about MVP in the slightest - as I've repeatedly said, if you've read to the end of some of my overly long replies. If anybody seem hung up about it, it is those who have it & once had it, but dont anymore. In my opinion it's meaningless, obviously to some people its not, that's their business.

My complaint, in this strand, was regarding the tone of Garretts reply to John. Garrett & I have cleared this matter up (I think & hope).

My only view on the MVP thing is that just becuse you've got the letters, don't expect automatic respect, it's got to be earned & once earned, maintained. My point from the outset was that the experts (with or without MVP after their name, I didn't know what it meant at the time) should be more tolerant of newcomers.
