I am not and have never said that what MVP's do or do not do is a problem. The granting of the title MVP and any rewards/compensation that go with it is itself the problem. Yes, some MVP's have posted some critical comments. Who cares? The problem is the fact that MVP's exist in the first place.
Here it is again: - The IT industry is vendor focused - As long as the IT industry is vendor focused it will never be a profession on par with doctors, lawyers, etc. - MVP's are an example of this vendor focus and in fact reward this behavior - MVP status is in and of itself a conflict of interest This is NOT to say that all MVP's cannot maintain objectivity, but that is not the point of a conflict of interest. When a conflict of interest exists, it exists regardless of whether people act inappropriately because of that conflict of interest. > That proves no point, Greg, most of my discussions take place in private. > > MVPs are publicly critical of Microsoft all the time; if you can't see that > then perhaps it's because you won't. > > -Ben- > Ben M.
