Will HP reward great Olympians

[paul courry]

That idea of something off the support contract has merit.

If your boss knew that your ITRC status saved the company X number of dollars per year then you would be in good odor.

If an interviewer knew that hiring you would get them a X percent discount on their maintenance contract that might get you the job.

HP helping you get or keep a job, now THAT would be valuable.

TG,

The free forums exist so that a community of like-minded professionals can exchange knowledge, experiences, best practices, and the occasional script.

As Jim Ferguson, one of the more haloed Olympians, states: "My reward for my time is learning something I didn't know. It's finding out how much I don't know. It's seeing, exploring and learning different approaches. It's motivation to research something for an abundance of reasons. The reward is knowing I have helped someone."

In my opinion, if we begin dispersing gifts to those that reach a certain milestone, it will undermine the purest reason that people participate in the forums. I, along with a majority of community members, try to regularly thank the Olympians, the Pharaohs, Royals, Wizards, Graduates, Pros, and up-and-comers for their efforts.

This is not to avoid sending members an HP trinket, but an attempt to keep the forums true purpose intact. I do hope you agree, as you are a key member of this community.

an certificate award from ITRC similar to HP certification done at Sylvan prometric would be an good idea .. this does add the value to the time spent on responding to hundrends of queries without expecting anything back

Hi,

sorry for the confusion about "reconnaissance" - a french term which means something like a well deserved "Certificate of Merit"

I also agree with our Forum Manager...

This forum no place for "Point" or "gift" hunters!! Hope this don't make some people unhappy ;)
Although "a whacking great full house 2 cell RP7410 with a XP attached" proposed by Marc is soooo tempting ;)

Cheers
