ax3/pathiks : as far as i had thought : even i had the impression that digit had nominated us. then one particular pm from thinkdigit, led me to believe that such was not the case. SO I DONT KNOW FOR SURE ! and yes, the poll had no bearing on the award. the final selection is based, solely at the discretion of ms.
what i do know is that "A representative from Microsoft had been watching..."
then one fine day i got a pm from thinkdigit saying that ms wanted my email id. then another fine day ms wrote to me asking if i'd like to be considered for the mvp award...i was, to say the least, ZAPPED !
i wrote back, saying "r u sure u want to nominate me ? i am no techie...at best a tech-enthusiast..!" i got a reply from Micrososoft, saying that "
the mvp programme was not necessary for uber-geeks, but for tech-enhusiasts who were involved in offline/online communities".
so there !
