Surely you see it is frustrating and counterproductive to see them awarded MVP for "contribution to on-line community" during that period when I am unable to find them anywhere I look.

I don't know the answer. I know that, in the past, Lisa was active in the MS Newsgroups, but since I almost never go there, I don't know if that's still or recently true. I don't know at all where YAG's been hanging out.

>On the other hand, if they are "life members" for contributions in the past, then "bravo to them" but why can't that be acknowledged so I can stop looking.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as a life member.
