Q. "Do MVPs as a group ever deny..... based on themselves not being =
friendly?

A. MVPs are individuals with unique abilities and personalities. As =
a group,
all are friendly. If I answer a question, and it solves an =
issue, is that not being friendly?

WTF does this part of "denial" have to do with being friendly as part of =
getting the award as Rick explained it, that wasn't what I stated your =
"denial" was about; nice side step try, President Bush!

Q. "I can name quite a few who are not friendly, condescending, and =
at time, ungrateful."
=20
A. "Alright, name them and provide several specific newsgroup posts =
to substantiate your claim".

Oh please I don't want to go there and search, but most of you know how =
I ripped on you for being unfriendly, mainly by you being accusatory to =
not maiking your standards. It was just recently you got away (though =
you still do it from time to time) from accusing people of piracy when =
they were asking certain questions. Many times you were downright =
unfriendly and accusatory, ass in "shoot first, ask questions second".

Q. "I have yet to see him (CF) express a reply of gratitude to one =
who thanked him.
=20
A. Not necessary....have you ever sent a thank-you note to someone =
that already sent one?

HUH? That doesn't make sense, but do you ever say "you're welcome", you =
ingrate? I have never seen it from you yet!

Seems redundant and turns a newsgroup thread into a chat session.
=20
I didn't say that, why quote it?
=20
Q. "He even doesn't acknowledge his own peers that tell him when he =
makes these errors".
=20
A. Private email does this best and you have no knowledge how I =
communicate with peers.

Poor cop out Carey, I have seen MVPs call you down, before you were an =
MVP, and you got all ****y about it, instead of just admitting fault =
when you were wrong. Now that you got the title, you can avoid it. I am =
sure you don't enjoy being embarassed in private also, so you avoid it =
altogether, by not addressing it in any venue!

Even if you addessed it prviately, and you were called on it, you still =
make the same rrors, which tells me my last sentence in the previous =
paragraph seems true.

Q. "Also, expressing corporate zealotry is very unappealing, and only =
entails getting nothing but biased=20
remarks from him."
=20
A. Since you cannot site specific examples, your observation is mute.

Sure I can, like when you ripped on OPen Office for someone who said =
they couldn't afford the ridiculous price MS charges for the office =
products. Someone recommended Open Office, and you replied get a REAL =
office product that is MORE Secure, and went to express how poor those =
"other" products are and MS is better, though you don't explain your =
experience with them. I am sure you really had experience using them =
too, eh?.=20

I have seen you rip Linux users seeking help here, simply because you =
stated it was inferior, though you have no experience with it (I use =
Mandrake 10.0, it is very sweet). I prefer XP because it supports more =
software, it is user friendly, and I also like it a great deal. I =
actually have liked every version of Windows from 95 until now, except =
for ME (Crapware). But I also use XP because most software makers know =
Windows has most of the market, and will not spend their resources for =
others making software for them, so it is a necessity of sorts.

If more quality software were written for the really good distros of =
Linux, I would switch, because it is cheaper, and I can write to it. =
Fortunately, most quality PC makers provide Windows, so the expense is a =
non-reason for me. But the expense of Office is a travesty, but I need =
it for work, as they use it there.

=20
Q. "He will not recommend 3rd party product purchases unless they are =
certified by MS".
=20
A. And a good doctor will only prescribe medication approved by the =
FDA.

And a good doctor can ONLY precribe medicine approved by the FDA, you =
twirp! Bad example, and an extremely poor attempt at using an analogy!

=20
Q. " I think it is very un-MVP like to recommend a registry =
cleaner/maintenance program..."
=20
A. Why? The only one I recommend is System Mechanic, and it's =
featured in the Windows Catalog.

Being that nearly every other MVP in here other than you recommends to =
others NOT to use registry cleaners, that should be telling in itself. =
Just because MS approves it (which could be for marketing purposes, =
rather than a real benefit), doesn't make it safe. Most people don't =
know what is being cleaned out anyway, and those cleaners can remove =
stuff that is non-Windows related, that the person NEEDS on their PC. =
Uninstalling things is the best way.

Not a Microsoft MVP, and certainly not deserving of it based on Rick =
