Brad, that link to MVPs you have given here is not working.
Why I am asking, is that I have my suspicions about a certain Carey Frisch
who claims to be an MVP.
Carey Frisch has correctly answered 186 questions in 3 and 1/2 years; not
MVP qualifications.
The claimed Award is for "Windows Desktop Experience"-"Windows System and
Maintenance"
Thank you for any help you can provide!
