: It's a valid and interesting question, and judging by the 40+ responses

: rattled
: and they are awake, perhaps some of the MVPs (real and fake) might like
: to
: try and answer why Windows Live Messenger is crashing in Vista ... and
if
: they don't know then to raise the issue with people who might know or
be
: able
: to find out ...

: Three points:
:
: 1. All of we MVPs are volunteers
:
: 2. All of we MVPs know some things very well, others slightly, and still
: others not at all. I, for example, have no interest in Windows Live
: Messenger, know nothing about it, and can't help you regarding any
: problems you have with it.
:
: 3. Some MVPs may have the ability to discuss certain types of problems
: with the appropriate Microsoft employees; others don't. In many cases,
we
: wouldn't even know who to raise an issue with. Regarding Windows
: Messenger, not only do I not know anything about it, but I don't even
know
: the name of a Microsoft employee who does. Moreover, this is not an
: established method of getting problems solved, and even if I knew the
: right person at Microsoft and asked him, there is no guarantee that it

:
: perhaps that mught be a more valuable use of their time than
: arguing and whining, after all, isn't that supposed to be what they are
: here
: for ?!?!?
:
:
: No, not at all. We are volunteers who each have knowledge in certain
areas
: only. It's for that reason that each of answers some questions and
ignore
: others, about which we know nothing (or at least not enough) entirely.
:
:
: They're of no VALUE to me if they don't help resolve this issues I
raise
: !!!
:
:
: Then feel free to ignore or even killfile all of us. There is no
: requirement that any of us be of any value to you.
