1. These discussion forums, aka newsgroups, allow you to post questions and
receive answers for free. These newsgroup as simply user groups in which we
all try to help one another. So, feel free to ask questions...for free!
2. MVP stands for Most Valuable Professional, an honorary title that
Microsoft confers on people who possess expert level knowledge on a
Microsoft softfoware application (such as Microsoft Project) and who
publicly share their knowledge in some public venue, such as by answering
questions in a newsgroup, hosting a software blog, speaking at user groups,
etc. You will a number of MVPs who answer questions in this newsgroup.
NONE of us work for Microsoft. We are all users who care about the others
in the user community. We are not paid for answering questions; we do it as
a labor of love.
Hope this helps.
