hi Chris,

As i said before in my previous response, it require huge amount of giving (time and technical information posting to help others) and as Barbara Stated, it could take years before they notice you, so I see it not acceptable to remove MVP from a person, if he did not just post the right MB of data/year. but if he leavs the party line as you said, it will be another subject.
