Even though you deny it, you name calling reflects a lot on your own

No personal issue, if he wants to do what he does, then he should bear =
the words of others. I will note that you ignore his personal attacks on =
those seeking help.

You clearly have little grasp of the process used to select MVPs,
since there are no hard and fast rules, there is much flexibility.
Even though you deny it, you name calling reflects a lot on your own

Apparently there needs to be rules, and less flexibility on who is =
selected; ever heard of standards??. While I admit I would in no way =
qualify for the role based on my attitude at times, he takes the cake!


If you feel the need to call Carey or anyone else names to bolster
your position, it is clear you are incapable of supporting it.


No, you have that wrong totally, it is one thing to call names, and not =
bolster the claim with it, that is weak, and makes nothing of proof to =
the claim. I said what I said, while giving example of real incidents, =
at his request. I supported it.

Anyway, nuff said already, I am done with this, but not at grilling him =
when he make accusatory, or scornful remarks about non-Windows =
applications users, or purported pirates.

about how to become an MVP myself. Thanks for all the replies.

realize that this is not the correct forum for placing this post,
however... My question concerning the MVP award is:

How does one achieve or get recognized for this award? The MVP FAQs are
vague at best. Who nominates an MVP?

Correct. There is no test. The MVP award is given by Microsoft for
recognition of the effort given in the prior year, it is not a
certification. As I stated earlier in the thread, it is contingent upon
accuracy, consistency, and a willingness to help. No specialized training is
required other than a will to teach, and to learn.

Wow slow down. You don't have to pass a test (Or a least you didn't
in the past) to be an mvp. This was told to my by another mvp. Not
Carey. I think it was Gary S. Terhune that told me this.

If you think Microsoft needs different standards for MVPs, this is not
really the place.
Since Microsoft does not officially monitor these peer to peer
newsgroups, your ideas are most likely unseen by those who influence
this policy.
If you have suggestions on this:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=3D114491
Also...
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/def...;EN-US;mvpfaqs
At the top of FAQ.


I may just make a suggestion (or two) :-).

As far a names, there is no appropriate way to call a person an
inappropriate name such as "ingrate" & "twirp", possibly others.
There is nothing you said that justifies either of these.
However as you use them your credibility drops.


I'll give you twirp, but not ingrate, as that describes one who doesn't =
express gratitude, and you already know about that part eh! Anyway, =
thanks for the links, and if i make suggestions, I will put a god deal =
of thought into them beforehand.

"worth" is defined by recipient.

I didn't start out looking for the award (which currently is done quarterly,
so nominations are always appropriate), but it was nice to receive it. There
are some perks to the program that I would not otherwise enjoy. If the
program were to end today, I would still be here doing the same thing
tomorrow.

Is it really worth being an MVP?
When do the nominations close and when will the
successful nominees be notified?

All sounds a little hard.

Oddly most have not sought the award, and it is even sometimes suggested
that those who appear to be going out for it do not deserve it, as
showing the wrong motivation. The real motive is a desire to help; the
real reward thanks. And we regularly emphasise that we are *not*
employees of Microsoft, required to tread any company line.

But I hope we will one day be able to welcome you into the fold
