    To head off the inevitable queries regarding how MVPs are determined, you should probably cite the FAQ that answers that question.

    You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

    I have a theory as to why we only have 5 US MVPs. Most of the questions seem to be asked during the sub-continental day (India, Pakistan, B'desh, etc.) This gives the UK and India based experts more opportunities to answer them than American ones. Just a theory though, not based on any data points. :-)

      Well done everyone. Sean's going to be earning some major frequent flyer miles here and he's definitely going to be getting some funny looks going through security with the mankini hand-luggage.

      I thought his CP staff badge gave him diplomatic immunity at airport security checkpoints. :confused:

          Congratulations to all 40 winners. India heads the list with 10 MVPs, closely followed by the UK with 8. Griff lists his country as Wales, but I upgraded him to the UK for statistical purposes. Sorry Griff. The USA, as always, has 5 rock star MVPs too - U S A, U S A! Yeah! Germany has 3 MVPs, and no other country has more than 1. Out of the 40 MVP awards, 38 went to humans, and two went to groups/organizations. Canada has 0 MVPs. We tried to reach out to a few of them for comment, but they were all busy ice fishing and randomly saying 'aboot'. :-D

              That's a false statistic. People can still answer questions that have already been answered. And I wasn't complaining about the "spread", I was just cautioning you to answer the question that will inevitably be asked regarding the way MVP status is calculated.

                Yeah, I know, but that may not get as many upvotes. Upvotes get you rep points, which are counted towards the MVP award.

                I didn't think you were. I just responded and went in a tangential direction. And well, if anyone asks me how they can become an MVP - well, I guess I can link to the FAQ :-)

                    I don't know if you know this or not, but you can edit your messages after you submit them the first time. :) (I used to be a MVP, so I know these tricks about CP).

                      I program naked, mainly to avoid the issues of establishing some arbitrary statement regarding fashion and style.

                          Be honest: You're American, so the question you really wanted to as was "Do all those other countries you listed really exist?"

                              Well, most US maps only specify states of the union. The rest of the world is labeled, "Places we are better than".

                                  Well, most US maps only specify states of the union. The rest of the world is labeled, "Places we are better than".

                                  Ah, Glasshopper, how can you claim to be better than something you do not know exists?

                                    It's not that we don't know they exist, it's that they're not important enough to clutter up an otherwise useful map with the names of "places we're better than".

                                      Be honest: You're American, so the question you really wanted to as was "Do all those other countries you listed really exist?"

                                      If they do, they will be destroyed soon! Americans don't like to complicate their lives by understanding anything besides USA, so to un-complicate things, they just destroy them. :D

                                        Congratulations to all 40 winners. India heads the list with 10 MVPs, closely followed by the UK with 8. Griff lists his country as Wales, but I upgraded him to the UK for statistical purposes. Sorry Griff. The USA, as always, has 5 rock star MVPs too - U S A, U S A! Yeah! Germany has 3 MVPs, and no other country has more than 1. Out of the 40 MVP awards, 38 went to humans, and two went to groups/organizations. Canada has 0 MVPs. We tried to reach out to a few of them for comment, but they were all busy ice fishing and randomly saying 'aboot'. :-D

                                        Regards, Nish
