Being MVP and posting Microsoft copyrighted material without reference...
There's a 2007 MVP that's using copy/paste from Microsoft's knowledgebase in his "answers" without referring to the original source.
In The Netherlands we call this plagiarism. The fact that a person can become a Microsoft Valued Professional using Microsoft copyrighted texts without a reference is beyond my imagination.
Still no response from the MVP Global Administrator about a procedure how to complain.....
Feel free to mail me (username at gmail.com) to get the link with the proof.

I hate to be cynical but Microsoft's whole approach to code writing is "cut-and-paste"...
Hmm, I don't object to a "copy-and-paste" approach, as long as it's copying the best code :-)
Problems arise however when the programmer doesn't understand the strengths and weaknesses of such code and that's the responsibility of an expert to explain when helping others.
