Yet, when you make the mistakes you do, and people call you down on it, your defense is to use the ones who defends you by copying and pasting quotes from them to your advantage. But, you NEVER admit when you make a mistake, and that is where you don't walk the MILE!

I will back SteveN here to an extent, that you do tend to follow how much you can post, rather than make quality replies, by your simple read and react responses. You are being very simplistic and extremely presumptuous, if you think most cannot tell you make many of your replies based on reading and reacting to the subject lines, as opposed to actually reading the posts. I know you won't reply, but I still feel you are the worst MVP here, and you only got it, because you hung around so long, that someone finally just gave in.

I've seen many deserving MVPs here get there titles in much less time than you, because of the accuracy of their replies, and their knowledge base, and not out of some sycophantic method you obviate here and have in the years you've been attempting to help here. Of course, like Ed Thompson, I will probably get flamed by MVPs, because they defend their own, and not out of really being correct.
