Hi,
I was just looking at a post from Mygposts about a batch file that he needed
and the replies, especially the one from Pegasus, and thinking about all the
stupid post questions I have left over the years and it got me thinking.
There really should be some type of award or awards ceremony to recognise
the time and effort and dedication that group posters give to these groups.
People like Pegasus, Gerry, Malke, Roady etc, etc, etc. I am absolutely
amazed at the dedication they give. They have saved me soooo many hours of
frustration. Because of these people I am able to run my computers, my
business and my life in the knowledge that I am usually only an hour from an
answer. Not just these newsgoups/forums but all of them. They all have a
few posters who manage to answer 85% of everything.

I just thought it was time to say a massive thanks to them all. I hope you
all understand just how much I at least appreciate your efforts. HUGE
THANKS.

P.S. No, I am not about to end it all and I am not an emotional person, I am
not drunk either.... but it is getting late

Cheers,
Lenny

They already get an award from Microsoft called MVP. MVP stands for
Most Valuable Pig. Anybody can get it and the only qualification
required is to be able to insult, abuse and bully all Genuine
Microsoft Customers. You don't have to know anything about current
technologies or Microsoft Products.

Now I can see you are a very emotional person and currently punch
drunk like that antipodean called S Stanley.

Hope this helps.

Oh oh! Someone ignored the advice not to take the brown acid.
Hope you feel better tomorrow.

I hope your awards ceremony includes many categories besides things
besides "most helpful advice". There are so many good ones.

We can start by defining some categories for the awards.

Most likely to suggest a System Restore as first solution
Most likely to suggest a Repair Install as a first solution
Most likely to include registry edits as first solution
Most likely to offer sfc /scannow as a solution, but not include
instructions
Most likely to suggest running memtest86 overnight
Most likely to suggest creating a knoppix CD
Most likely to continue offering solutions to undefined problems
Most likely to includes the words "try", "might", "maybe", "could be"
and "should" in the solution
Most likely to suggest applying solutions with zero explanation or
documentation (faith based healing)
Most likely to offer a fix for th problem symptom and not the problem
itself
Most likely to believe "workaround" and "solution" have the same
definition
Most likely to offer solutions requiring possession, knowledge and use
of a multimeter
Most likely to offer slaving suspicious drive in a second computer
Most likely to suggest "spare" case, power supply, monitor, video
card, keyboard, mouse
Most likely to suggest a BIOS reset as a solution
Most likely to suggest a dust bunny removal exercise as a solution
Most likely to offer a batch file as a solution

Most likely to be a sarcastic boob (I win!).

Thanks for the feedback - it is a pleasure helping posters who appreciate
the assistance we try to give.

I just wanted to say, "Thank you!" to all of you as well. I'm MCSE 2003, but
still get great advice here on a regular basis.

If that is truly the case, why don't you have the award? You fit that
description.

In actuality MS has deemed that work in the Newsgroups by itself is not
enough to qualify for the MVP. I believe that happened in 2007.
