Re: Converting Visual C++ 6.0 application to Unicode
Hi David,
I was an MVP for 10 years, but I ran into a year where I couldn't
participate much so I didn't get reawarded that year. I hope to be again
someday, but participating in this forum and others is a big part of my life
and learning experience so I'll be here for the duration regardless. I
missed the "community" that year that I couldn't participate as much
(personal problem) and I'm especially sad that the upcoming Summit will be
the first one I've ever missed since they started doing them. Alas, life
goes on. I hope you get a chance to attend the Summit this month and
represent us and report back whatever you can without breaking any rules.
Attending is a ton of work, but it is a most rewarding experience. Remember
MVP is not a title so much as an award for past participation in the
community. It is a honor to get the award and Microsoft is incredible in
its ability to foster user to user support through the program. I tried to
get a similar program going when I worked at IBM and they just didn't get
it. For all the hassle Microsoft gets for support issues I have to say I've
never seen any other company do as well in encourgaing customers to
interact.
So, enjoy your reward, you earned it. I can't see anywhere that you've ever
claimed to be superior because of it. I appreciate that about you (and many
others). I noticed a thread where Joe was asking for feedback so I assume
he's going as well. That's way cool! He tends to not mind sharing details
:o)

Mihai is (or at least used to be) an MVP as well. So is Tom Serface,
David Lowndes, David Wilkinson, and perhaps more who don't put the MVP in
their sigs. Putting the MVP is entirely optional. I still wonder if I
should put it myself, it does seem to generate a "class system" when the
actual value of posts is not determined by whether someone is an MVP or
not.
