Fellow regular posters and MVP's,

I've been declined the MVP status of this year.

A decission of MS, I can't comprehend and validate:
If there are persons willing to doubt this decission, kindly feedback on
this thread.

You sound disappointed. The MVP award is awarded by Microsoft based on your
previous year's community contributions, not because you want to become an
MVP, as it appears you do. Those who are only contributing in order to get
the award don't usually get the award.

Offer your help because you enjoy helping. Forget about the MVP award. It
may come or it may not, but you're bound to be disappointed if that was your
goal. If OTOH your goal is to help others, you'll succeed as long as you put
effort into it.

Disappointment, a bit maybe.

Was more about:
Getting MS and other "judges" sharp on their own criterions.
It won't help me, that's for sure :-) but maybe it'll help others ...

Ya know ;-)
