Few things irritate me, Fitz.
You state: "However, you do MVPs a disservice when you imply that they are
dishonest".
I did NOT imply that MVP's are dishonest. What I did say was that there is,
IMO, absolutely no way of knowing, for certain, that those giving help and
advice on the MS groups are 'good guys'.
I very much appreciate all the help and advice which I've received. I'm sure
that thousands of others, too, are most grateful for the efforts made by
those with a desire to help.
Having said that, I re-iterate that I believe that 'bad guys' *might* be
operating here too. How can anyone know for sure - if no-one is responsible
for checking each and every link on each site and when it is so very easy to
'pretend' to be someone else?
FWIW
Dave
