From: Charlie Russel - MVP on
I know. My point was simply that it isn't whether MS counts my (Usenet)
posts towards some magical minimum number to be an MVP that influences where
and how I answer questions and help users. My MVP-ness is a nice
recognition, but not the reason. Giving back to the community is the reason.
The only reason.
