Who is MVP?
Hi Len,
I think things are improving. But its been and is still quite a stressful situation getting there. steve "Len Segal" wrote in message ... Steve, You wanted results too? You are asking too much. g MVPs try to influence MS, but we really don't have very much influence at all in getting things done. -- Regards, Len Segal, MCP Microsoft - MVP -------------- My reply address is intentionally wrong to reduce SPAM Email. NOTE: We do not respond to unsolicited Email support questions, please post questions in newsgroup. "Steve Cochran" wrote in message ... I remember that also. There was a huge groundswell. G Didn't do any good, did it? steve "Len Segal" wrote in message ... Frank, Amen! I'll never forget the "shell shocked" look on one MS VP's face when he entertained questions about IE/OE at the 2001 MVP event! He looked like he had just walked into the MVP version of a "shock and awe campaign"! LOL I guess someone misled him into thinking that we were going to be a "friendly bunch" of "yes wo/men"! -- Regards, Len Segal, MCP Microsoft - MVP -------------- My reply address is intentionally wrong to reduce SPAM Email.

Stick around. Find out whose reputations are best. Not all are (yet)
MVPs. But most MVPs (except me when I'm being silly) are reputable even before being nominated for MVPness. -- Kent W. England, Microsoft MVP for Windows This post is deliberately without humor.

Who is MVP?
There are so many responses, I hesitate to add more.
But, some parts of your question are both very good, and also not IMO fully answered. The official list lets you know names of MVPs mapped to their designated area. Now, even that "designated area" often does not tightly correspond with an individual's activity and expertise. The official list does not provide you with any information that would help you validate a post as actually having come from that MVP. In point of fact, there have been instances of people that are not MVPs posting with the MVP signature. Be assured, there are enough of us, and we know who we are, that when a posting appears with an invalid signature, we are most often "all over it". This includes postings in the thread, and internal communications. On the internet it is possible to make a posting look as if it has come from any origin desired, at least to a cursory glance. So, getting to know the individuals, their style and info quality, is one approach to having some assurance. Watching how many MVPs jump on a posting in a questioning way can also be a clue as to whether we agree with the technical quality or the precautions taken into account. In the end however, it is your call. The volume of the newgroups' postings makes it rather impossible for them to be moderated, and the nature of the internet makes postings mostly anonymous despite any return address or signature. -- Roger Abell Microsoft MVP (Windows, Security) MCSE (W2k3,W2k,Nt4) MCDBA "Shakespear" wrote in message ...
