Q1. Microsoft MVPs - Do you get points for
helping people on these newsgroups?
Yes. In fact, in Micro$oft's own words . . .
"Each year a panel of Microsoft employees reviews the
contributions of each nominee for quality, quantity, and
level of impact on the technical community".- taken from
Q/A3 on http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs
In particular you should note the word, 'quantity'. There are 3,500 MVPs so you can imagine how much time it would take the panel of Micro$oft employees to actually read and evaluate all of their individual newsgroup postings. They'd be sitting there for months. Ask yourself whether they actually do that, or whether they merely use an automated or semi automated counting system. Until you have been nominated for membership for the first time then quality is paramount, but after that time 'Quantity is King' :-) That's one of the reasons why Bill McCarthy (who is a liar by the way) is maintaining his posting count. The other reason of course is that he wants to destroy this group by repeatedly posting his dotnet drivel in an attempt to annoy the people who use it.
Q2. What does "OP" mean?
Original poster.
Q3. What does "OT" mean?
Off topic.
Q4. [Actually you did not ask this question, but I'll answer it anyway]
Yes. McCarthy is a liar and a stalker. There is something clearly unsavoury about his character.
