My reply:
Indeed, many of the criticisms of my contributions to the Microsoft newsgroups
do not fall on deaf ears. I sometimes get a bit cranky, edgy, defensive, etc., put then
I reflect back and do my best to make adjustments. And believe it or not, it was
some of the harshest and/or sarcastic criticisms that made me take note! I am also
a Taurus, and as a stubborn "bull", I'm a bit slow to readjust. Apparently, I was
nominated twice for an MVP award a few years ago, but never got it. I made
some significant adjustments and finally earned the award, but it took a lot
of determined effort. Now that I have earned the award, it is incumbent upon me
to become even more proficient and accurate with my posts, and to reflect a positive
attitude toward Microsoft and Microsoft products (although I'm not at all pressured
to do so). So, there you have it.
