Most valuable professional. It's a Microsoft award, it, by definition, means I don't work for them.

It is by invitation. Someone has to nominate you. Then Microsoft monitor you for a couple of months, do some background checks and so on and they then let you know you've been awarded. They do tell you if you've been nominated and they wish to do checks so you can point them in the right direction. It also gives you a chance to decline their invitation. I've a friend who has constantly rejected Microsoft's invitation. And a few months later they invite him again and he still says no.

Some of us actually like helping people. Not everyone is selfish and greedy. Personally, I like it when I help someone enough that they drop me a thank you note. That makes up for all the times that people don't give a proper explanantion of their problem then blame me because I tried to help them. Sheesh! To get some help a person needs to start by helping themselves at least part of the way.

Sir, Believe me , I did not ask this question to hurt somebody.I appreciate ur feelings.And as far as the greedyness and selfishness is concerned , I think - if u want to increase u knowledge , u need to share ur knowledge. and I really admire the deeds of people like Christian Graus , Satips , Dave Kreskoviak , Guffa and u(Colin Angus) and all those who contribute their knowledge here in code project site , the way they help others without money.It's realy great in itself.

The dollar bill or the rupee note is not the end of world. There are people who are passionate in helping others and make a difference, stand as a role-model for others to emulate and follow.

If you are a resident of India, you can self-nominate [I don't know why India has a different rule to the rest of the world]. By the way I didn't self-nominate [even though I was in Trivandrum when I was first awarded]. I didn't even know of self nomination till a couple of years later. I do not approve of it either [self-nomination I mean].

Yes, it does in my opinion.
