Denis,

What you've written describes almost exactly how I feel about having receieved the MVP award over the years.

You know what? That's a good thing. Neither of us are looking for any acknowledgement because we try to help people.

I still think that the idea, however, of a "Contributors of the Year" is worthy of consideration.
