Come on people, we haven???t gotten near enough input from the M$ community to let this die just yet.

Come on. Don???t be shy. Put your $.02 into this.

You got it John. Glad to see you back again.This might get me to the Wizard because alota people owe me points. Come on over guys, share your frustrations.

Thanks again John Collier.
BTW:how old are you?

Latif,

I never actually left. My job situation has just changed recently (no, not for the better, unfortunately) and I don???t get the chances to get out on the forums like I would prefer.

Instead of answering your ???BTW??? question directly, let me point you at this post:

the only thing is that I just reread my answer on that and I have to admit that I screwed it up. You will have to subtract one from that answer to get the correct answer. I guess my gray matter was just a little ahead of me when I posted that. Oh well???

I stay mainly in the hpux forum and there are many times when I contributed without receiving points. Some people don't realize the value of points, and other are too lazy to give them out. It is just a fact of life. About 20 - 30% of your contributions will go unrated.

Hey John,

You are about the same age of mine. I'm 1 year less than you. I wouldn't worry about gray matter thing, some people get it in their earlier ages.
You made me sad about your job situation, I almost feel the same cuz I'm under utilitzed and under paid too.
But just patience and faith in our heart, that's all what we need.

I agree that it is not the papers that you have but it's what you know. But I have to study anyway so why not taking the exam.

I totally agree with XMAN. Everyone is investing their time for those helps and to just assigning points doesn't cost $. I also urged if their problem is solved then please place to "Magical answer", with this who search into forum can better know that it is a perfect solution.


Thanks

I'm with Xman here.

My Microsoft Knowledge is quite limited, but what I know I know. I have found the "payback" on time spent in the Microsoft forums has not been commensurate with the effort.

When faced with a choice of where to spend my time its going to be where I get the pats on the back.

The best way to get quality help fast is to assign something to every reply. Take a look at my profile.

Take a look at how long it takes me to get an answer anywhere I post. Everyone knows I point every post, even jokes.

So assigning points is a good way to get faster answers and be more effective in getting help.
