I post in the Microsoft newsgroups and am an MVP.
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/

I find that it's often helpful for posters to know that, generally speaking.
I don't like the lengthy alphabet soup bit in signatures either, though. Nor
do I have a sig.

I'm not a Microsoft guy. I'm not even a guy at all, as it turns out. I'm
just a hapless volunteer who spends time trying to help others in the
newsgroups. :-)
