1's and 5's
-
Basing the MVPs on votes is an error, in my opinion. There a lot of correct answers to complicated questions in the forums that get no 5 as reward, whereas some programmers get excited when you tell them how to change their cursor shape or how to hide a window, and vote you 5 to the 7 answers it took you to made it clear for them. Of course, you have to start with something for picking out the "bests of the best" ... But there are plenty of people here who deserves a distinction and who will not get it because they were away from the boards three months in the year or that they simply answer only tough questions (since the obvious get a pretty fast answer usually). So what I wanted to say is, I would not put much weight in the distinctions, but would only say that I find the whole community awesome. You are all MVPs for me.

Don't get me started with marketing guys ... they tend to screw things up allot. It's the part of the company i don't want to associate with ;P:-D

Sounds good enough for a 5 from me.

As a matter of intrest ... We all know that the initial mvp list included the % of 5's the people got. Who do you think got the most 1's? Chris could you do a count + % and lets see who can guess the closest? :-D;P:-D

So, you think we should have an LVP award too? :laugh: 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 Smith -

Don't get me started. Our overall brand name at work is "Versamark". Five years ago when we first started using it, they couldn't decide whether it was "VersaMark" or "Versamark". I had to pick one, and chose "VersaMark". Last year, someone over in marketing noticed that we were using VersaMark in a couple of places and threw a conniption fit over it. I spent a week changing every occurrence of VersaMark to Versamark. This included strings in the user interface, filenames, registry key names, source files, SourceSafe project names, help files and their sources, and so on.

.net is a TLD, .NET is a framework from Microsoft. :)

Jeez, Paul. Get a life. Stop being so nitpicky about capitalization. Ajax, AJAX, .net, .Net, .NET, .nEt...;P
