Hi Robert
That is a shame - I appreciate how you must feel about this.
I wonder if there are some who may want to 'resign' their MVP status?
A sign-0ff like this might appear

Maybe. Of course it shouldn't spoil the reputation of the many good people
in the program, but there are some ( I won't embarrass them by naming
them. ) who have had running battles with this spyware peddling sleaze, and
I would have thought that they would have to consider their position
untenable while he was a member.
