You're like a hemorrhoid and no amount of Preparation H is making you go away... :( -----Original Message----- From: Greg Deckler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 9:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Migrating from GroupWise 6.5 I do not believe that I have ever "bashed" anyone. I have expressed my opinion. Honorary titles and gifts are a conflict of interest and hence not something that professional IT people should engage in, period. You can justify it all you want to yourself but it does not change the fact that it is a conflict of interest. And I do not see why my opinion is hurtful or demeaning. If you do not agree with my opinion, then why would you be hurt and demeaned by some nut in Ohio? I find it interesting that now there are "small gifts" involved. When this topic came up previously all of the MVP's stated that they were not compensated in any way. Finally, it is in Microsoft's best interests to listen to their customers. They should be doing this even without having MVP's and I, for one, would rather NOT have my wants and needs filtered through anyone, including an MVP. > I think what is at issue here is that in the past you have spent time > in this group bashing on the major posters, a number of which are MS > MVP's.
