I know this will probably be met with 'Meh' by some people but...

I just got a mail from microsoft.
"Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2008 Microsoft MVP
Award"

Wow. I was not expecting that.

And for those going "What?"

Oo is it shiny, more importantly is it hockable? No seriously congrats,  
good to see your in-depth knowledge of MS Paint has been recognised; wait  
it was for Paint wasn't it?

Okay really seriously now - congrats.

Congrats, Gail - that is cool.  (I did something very similar for Novell 
for about 10 years, so I know how cool that is)

Have been for years. <g>

Seriously, I use and teach their products, doesn't mean I agree with
everything they do. I don't work for them and my opinion is not theirs
In fact, often the MVPs are the most vocal distractors of a decision by MS
if they don't like it.

Don't joke. There's an XBox MVP in this coiuntry. The running joke is that
he got it for playing games.

> Okay really seriously now - congrats.

Thanks
