    I'd have thought an infinite improbability field and a really hot cup of tea would be the answer..

        Mmh, yes, ok, I misunderstood MVP status with Membership status. To be a MVP here, you must be helpful, patient, skillful, but lucky as well, since only people that vote for you bring you point for the MVP status. Too bad if you help people that are not grateful.

            Totally wrong. An MS MVP does not need to have any qualification ( I sure don't, I have no certifications and no degree ). An employee is exempt from being an MS MVP, if an MVP gets a job at MS, they lose their MVP as a result.

              There is no criteria or calculation for this. Chuck Norris picks a bunch of guys and they'll be MVPs.

                i do like-wise only if i know the answer... i normally get beaten to the answer, some people can throw these answers out in no time its scary :cool: how do you grade the answer? I go for: technical accuracy ease of understanding links (to prove whats said) if I just get it first read :)

                        And someone has to nominate you. Once you get nominated MS will pay more attention to you. They will ask for area where you are active and watch them. After a two month period you get awarded, or not. (At least that's how the MVP-Leads in the UK seem to work)

                              I have taken to giving the short answer because of this. Since the nature of a lot of programming questions are from relatively inexperienced people I used to go to great lengths to explain my answer to their question. :cool: My efforts were invariably met with silence from the person X| so I started giving a terse answer and only elaborate if the person responds asking for more detail. :sigh: Even when the person responds asking for me to explain I have found that my explanation usually goes unrated. X| I always respond to anyone giving me an answer on a programming forum even if saying nothing else than thanks for the response or thanks for the link. It is only common courtesy to respond to anyone who has made an effort to help you. :) If the person gave me useful information I always rate their response with a 5 vote so they know that the information was useful to me and to thank them for helping. :-D I do not give low votes to responses that did not help me because the person was at least trying to help and as stated above I do reply with a thanks for the attempt even if the information didn't help solve my problem. :)
