Jim,
You're treading in areas where you have no direct knowledge. Have you ever read the MVP NDA?

>My point is that MVPs do it because they want to and MS exploits this and throws in a NDA to assure added 'control'. One doesn't have to be a shill so much as one one better not be a detractor. And I know that the infamous VB6 dissenter remains a MVP. The fact of the matter is, very few others even try to find out where the limit of tolerance might be. WhilH seems to have found one border, don't you think?
