My sig (for the rare occasions I bother to append it): -- Robert Moir, MSMVP Senior IT Systems Engineer, Luton Sixth Form College "Dogs have owners, Cats have staff" Notice it says "MSMVP" ? So, that's two strikes and two misses so far. I don't get "Secret compensation" and I appear to have the word "MVP" in my sig block. > I wonder why? Microsoft asked me > to become an MVP and I told them to go jump in a lake. More > people need to take this approach and be true consultants, > not advocates. I'm not any kind of consultant for anybody. I'm an employee of a college. I don't get paid by anyone to sell solutions based on Microsoft products or anyone else's products, and I'm certainly not paid to advocate any particular platform. That's strike three. Thanks for playing. -- Robert Moir, MSMVP Senior IT Systems Engineer, Luton Sixth Form College "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
