    Yes, you're probably right... sorry. Of course, if I post it there now I'll be guilty of cross-posting! Oh well, I could always make a new account member58473628394... and post it there under "urgentz plz fix"!

      ..can someone at CP please correct / re-write this sentence at the top of the CP MVP page: "Here is the list of the members, who is currently or (was in the past) considered the Code Project MVP" It really hurts, reading that... :rose:

          There's a period missing at the end of that sentence. It also wouldn't hurt to use a comma to combine the two sentences. :)

            Although you might want to make a couple of changes, I would suggest: In the absence of HTML and scripting errors, following you will usually find a list of members, contributors, or registrees here below, some of whom are right now considered the Code Project MVP, while the rest are mostly has-beens. The Code Project takes no responsibility for this posting, however unanimously certifies that very few animals or other current or former carbon-based life forms were inconvenienced during the selection process. In the event that your name is not listed, we refer you to The Lounge forum for counseling and trauma reconciliation. Without further ado, the aforementioned list is as follows.

                                      The real problem is that it is missing the question mark at the end.

                                          I've convened a preliminary planning meeting to arrange for an oversight committee to investigate the issues (usability, localisation, target demographic and business requirements) involved in such a change. I'm not saying it can't be done, but in this current economic climate one has to allocate the limited resources available in the most cost-effective manner to ensure the ROI is maximised in a way that is justifiable and suitable for all parties involved while ensuring current utilisation of said infrastructure asset is not compromised nor rendered less performant than currnet market expecations demand.

                                          cheers, Chris Maunder
