I noticed some people got awarded CodeProject MVP. What are the benefits of being an MVP and how do you get to be an MVP?

At the moment: Bragging rights. And a huge Thank You from us.
cheers, Chris Maunder
CodeProject.com : C++ MVP
Chris, I'm not saying this because I missed out on an MVP this year (Moving job and house takes its toll on the free time one has, so I didn't expect one this year), but this guy[^] who has one article and 31 posts in total is just taking the micky. I know all a CodeProject MVP confers is bragging rights, but even that has to be worth something and the bestowment of an MVP on the aforementioned person just cheapens the whole thing, IMHO.

God like powers? The best part is there is no way to prove whether or not the MVP's have been bestowed with God-like powers because no one personally knows God nor the true definition of God like powers.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage
Not true - Christian Graus (hint in the first name right). He must have god like powers.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before. -

I agree 100 percent with you Colin. There is definitely something wrong with the selection process. I think the all the MVP awards should be withdrawn until the selection process is fixed and then the award can be reissued. If that means I loose my MVP then so be it.
You may be right
I may be crazy

Quite surprized by seeing this[^] fellow in the list though.

31 questions only? He's barely past lurker status. Give his MVP to Colin Mackay - now he deserves it.

I second you. I'm sure, the list has been not moderated before publishing.

Actually Colin, I was very surprised not to see your name on the list. Even though you’re not as active as I’m sure you would like you’re still a very helpful presence on the forums. For that sir I say thanks.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I could ask a certain question regarding an ommission in that enumeration, but I shall refrain, for some unknown reason. ;P Marc

There's NO excuse for not commenting your code. -- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh SmithMarc Clifton wrote:

okay, okay... other preferences can swap the date choice. ;)

Infrared is what I tried to spell. Its light that you cannot see and it is warm. Infrared lamps are used to heat surfaces or objects. When you come in contact with infrared you will feel heat (unless its low power infrared like what your remote controls produce).
