These online forums are great for peer talk and support. But a whitepaper, at least a good one, stands the test of time.

Excellent! I agree with you there. A true MVP should be awarded for innovation and technical excellence. Not just the ability to respond to questions. If that were true, I'll bet the the MVP list would be held in much higher esteem, and the community overall would benefit. It would also help push VFP into the limelight.
