I hope this isn't a serious post but in case it is...
It's a designation from Microsoft (Most Valuable Profesisonal). As far as
who he is, I haven't met him but AFAIK he's a young Austrian fellow with a
ton of talent and a really funny sense of humor.
I believe Cor is from the Netherlands or one of those places where they have
one syllable names (I know, Bill only has one syllable but that's
different). Cor is also a very bright fellow with a great sense of humor.
If you flip around the various Newsgroups, you'll see that they both bust
their butts helping people out.
As far as being in charge of this newsgroup, I don't think it's been
officially set yet. Bill Gates and Steve B were about to officially put him
in charge but I think they got mad about that whole fine by the EC so they
cancelled it. To that end, most people that frequent this place defer to
Herfried b/c , well, count his posts and the math becomes obvious. Same for
Cor.
At this point, they'll both probably chastise me for wasting bandwidth with
this sillyness, and that my friend is the answer to your question.... They
are both two guys that do a damned good job keeping things running smooth in
this ng.

Howdy, im sure the man himself can answer this..... or his sidekick Cor.
What is an MVP and who put him in charge of this newsgroup?
I dont ask that in a grumpy or derogative way, Ive never met the man but
he seems like a very skilled programmer and I think it's an admirable thing
that he and the others like him, give so much of their time the way they
do. So full credit to you and thanks.
:)
But who did put in him/you in charge? How are these microsoft newgroups
structured? Is it Herfrieds' server this group runs/is mirrored on?
Thanks
:)
