Hi Michel,

I think the key difference here is that the VFP community's celebration was from the community to MS in appreciation for the product. Thus a genuine outpouring of gratitude was expressed. Perhaps I'm being cruel, and I don't know Mr. Mangione but I assume that if MS gave him the funding to throw an anniversary event for the Mr. Hankey construction set he'd do it. That's his job.
