Congrats to Royal, but does he want his picture posted?

Thanks. My friend sent out something similar to the entire MS team at my company (over 150 people on this distribution list). Couldn't believe that!

And ya, I don't care if you guys see what I look like.

What's an MVP?

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online technical communities. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts that represents the technical community's best and brightest, and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others.

MVPs represent a broad spectrum of Microsoft product users. They occupy many different professions including accountants, teachers, artists, engineers and technologists. MVPs reside in over 90 countries, represent 30 different languages, and cover more than 90 Microsoft technologies.

MVPs tend to be early adopters of new technology and actively communicate their experiences to millions of other technology users. Through their extensive community activity, MVPs help others solve problems and discover new capabilities, helping people get the maximum value from their technology.

Congrats royal. As dynamik said, this is not at all surprising. It's fair to say that the MVP title for Elan had been due for a while.

Rock on! Congrats Royal, that's quite a accomplishment.

Pardon me for my ignorance, but how many other Techexam members are MVP's? Just curious...

Yeah, I was almost going to tell Snadam he's just going crazy. But I figured he already knew that.

you should have taken advantage of my ignorance

Nice accomplishment royal... congrats!

Posting congrats (again, I lost some posts from the maintenance)... you have certainly earned it! Here's hoping some of that knowledge and dedication will rub off on the rest of us plebs.

A few posts were wiped out in last night's maintenance. I asked him about his involvement with the MS community, and he said he only has about 100 posts with them, spends more time on TE and his blog, his blog was the main reason for earning the MVP, and his OCS deployment tutorials were cutting-edge and many used them for their own deployments. That's me paraphrasing of course; hopefully I got that right.

Congrats again!

Slowhand

Schweet, congrats royal!

Does this mean we have to fill our Microsoft-related questions out in triplicate and add a healthy bribe to each thread in order for him to answer us?

bertieb

I'm late as ever, but wtg Royal - very deserved indeed

Close. 100 newsgroup posts with about 700 on m***change.org forums. Other than that just the blog and TE.

And thanks again!
