>I have always thought that one of the requirements for the MVP award was that you had to author at least 1 whitepaper for MSDN.

PMFJI, but what the heck do whitepapers have to do with online support? Seems a rather arbitrary criteria.

Also, we can probably count on one hand the number of VFP MVPs who have authored whitepapers for MSDN, are you saying that all others are not qualified?
