There is a viscous rumour going round that Paul is no longer an MVP.

Can someone please explain the root of these rumours?

Urgh, a viscous rumour. Is it sticky to the touch? wink.gif
(had to have a sly dig that you for that, sorry wink.gif)

Paul still shows up on the MVP directory (https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=EB86C193-2F6A-4930-BF28-588D2F6C2DF0) so I wouldn't regard that rumour as accurate unless it comes from someone at Microsot.

It is viscous - it doesn't run very fast wink.gif

It didn't come from anyone at MS so that's OK.

It came from a certain Mr O'Brien's Facebook...

Shouldn't you now be 'Paul (MNVP)?

Just because they don't value you doesn't mean we don't.
