The Award and the obligation are two entirely separate subjects, you
clueless cretin.

yes, i understand completely:
the mvp program is flawed
and in desperation to meet
its quota, automatically
renews the mvp awards.
what is also understood is
that you don't know how
to say no or press the delete
key when you get the email,
so there is a perception of
obligation.

Whether they do or they don't is entirely their business. Always has
been. It's not something I have ever strived for, and I've been annually
astounded when the Award notice drops into my inbox.
Award or no Award, you won't see much of a change in my behavior. Nor
will it have any negative affect on the program or its reputation. That's
what the db~Idiot can't comprehend.
I have no regrets about the way I treated Jack. He deserved every bit of
it, the good and the bad.
