Jamie,
I apologise to you unreservedly for any upset I have caused you. It was uncalled for, unfair and completely unnecessary. On reflection I realise now that you took the brunt of a great deal of pent up frustration, which I had no right to slam you with.
Humbly yours,
Martin Hughes

Nice one Mr Hughes. A well deserved 5 for this.

Forgiven, not forgotton.
// edit: I'll qualify that a bit for you. Ive had a really sh*t couple of months, and personally im not particularly happy ATM. Whilst you may have had some pent up anger, I got slamed when I was down. Remember that your "anonymous" actions over the internet can have a significant affect on the 3rd party.

Ironically, that's what Martin's been trying to say all along I think

0) MVP status is awarded for the previous year's contributions to the site. Anything done this year should have no bearing on last years award.
1) As far as I know, MVP is not based in any way on messages posted in the Lounge or Soapbox.
2) MVP status doesn't give you any extra privileges or power. All you get is a modified icon and a certificate (suitable for hanging).
I had thought that MVP status was more weighted toward article submissions for the year in question, but Jamie4c's one and only article was posted back in 2004.
For what it's worth, I don't think it would be proper to rescind MVP status unless the user in question did something truly abusive on the site. Just because he stirs folks up once in a while doesn't mean he's all of a sudden not a good programmer (which *is* why we're all here, right?). If that were the case, I wouldn't have MVP status either.

Well said. If people were denied MVP just because they stir things up, then you would never have...
Well, never mind.

But I think that's one of the main reasons I got MVP.

I just observed in http://lamp.codeproject.com/[^]. It is using the same survey as Main CodeProject in the homepage.
Shouldn't the sister websites be allowed to manage their own (site-specific) surveys?

... i decided to write it directly in the wizard instead of in MS word and then copy-paste it into the wizard, because the formatting gets messed up. But writing it in the wizard was worse!
The cursor kept disappearing(and would only type at the top of the page above the download links) randomly which forced me to submit the article as "work in progress" and then modify it. After this happened like 4 times I just wrote the article in the HTML view 
On another note shouldn't 5 articles + 1 Year & 3 Months membership + 1052 messages = gold member?

0) It takes a day or two for the system to catch up (and as a silver member, your article has to be approved before it counts).
1) just use notepad to edit (and include all of your html tags), and then copy/paste from there. I certainly wouldn't use ms word as my editor.

Even better: PSPad[^]. With Notepad, it's really a pain  . But I agree, with MS-Word, it's even worse.

Yes, I know this is controversial but John Simmons has a very good point about behaviour in article messages.
Everyone needs to be able to comment on articles and ask questions but maybe a certain level (silver or above?) should be able to vote on them.
