Kevin --

Don't worry, I won't stoop to his level.

Just for fun, Kevin, Google the email address he used to post this message.

Here is an example of what comes up (one of only a very few):
http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/38/193480.aspx

There is no evidence this person has even attempted to contribute anything,
useful or not.

Given that information I conclude that he has created this Yahoo! email
address so he can start holy wars and/or just to insult people.

Most of us "normal" people know, and respect, that it's not just anyone who
can become an MVP, and that you give of you time freely, as well as maintain
a real life and job.

Keep up the good work, Kevin!

Regards
Brian W
