Thank you for clarifing. That lets everyone in the world know that MVP in no
way means anything close to a person to ask for any kind of constructive help
or advice. I shall make a note and never bother even thinking an MVP is
around these newsgroups for any other purpose than self gratification.

Thank you for clarifing. That lets everyone in the world know that MVP in no
way means anything close to a person to ask for any kind of constructive help
or advice. I shall make a note and never bother even thinking an MVP is
around these newsgroups for any other purpose than self gratification.

||

||| "Milly Staples - MVP Outlook"
||| |||| Microsoft MVPs are not employees of the company; indeed, they must
|||| give up their MVP designation if they accept employment with
|||| Microsoft.
||||
|||| As such, we do NOT represent Microsoft, their views, or the fitness
|||| of their
|||| software for specific purposes.
||||
|||| Read the archives of this group and others if you have any
|||| questions.
||||
|||| Microsoft lackeys we are not - and you would find many MVPs who
|||| will give them "what for" when they mess up, which they do, on many
|||| occasions, me among them.
||||
|||| However, user stupidity, lack of thoughtfulness, inability to
|||| understand "beta" or any other user error also gets the same
|||| treatment.
||||
|||| Caveat Emptor - would that be a better label for Beta software?
|||| Except, folks think they are getting a free Microsoft Office suite
|||| to use for a few
|||| months and can't resist the temptation, DON'T read the warnings,
|||| and install
|||| it thinking that it will work perfectly and can be uninstalled as
|||| the "normal" program can.
||||
|||| Tell me, how is anyone going to bang this into anyone's head when
|||| Google mail, toolbar, etc. have been in perpetual beta and lull
|||| people into thinking that beta software works perfectly for their
|||| production environments.
||||
|||| If you want to blame anyone, blame the perpetual Google betas for
|||| diluting the meaning of "beta."
