Hello Mr. Brown,

Just for the record:
On the issue of "network awareness", I consulted the Networking MVP Lead
here and we determined that while OS Network Awareness (what we believe is
John Kelly's definition) is arguably the most common definition of "network
awareness", there is a second definition referred to as Application Network
Awareness which would cover PapaJohn's use of the term. Given that PapaJohn
used the term in quotes (indicating that it was not necessarily formal
usage) and provided additional context in the post itself to explain what he
meant, it does not seem as though any real possibility of confusion exists;
therefore, I don't see any reason for a corrective statement to be made by
PapaJohn.
Why did you consult another MVP lead...ASK A NETWORK CONSULTANT WHO IS
PREPARED TO PUT HIS NAME TO IT
Frankly you are playing with words...by the definition you choose to use
every microsoft product is network aware. I strongly disagree with your
selective choice of words obviously done in order to support the mvp
papajohn. and whats this "in quotes" business??? You should run for the
Senate
Its quite simpl...he talked rubbish, no amount of your twisting words is
going to change that fact....if we were to believe you EVERY software
package made by microsoft is network aware....COMPLETE RUBBISH and you know
it
It is also worth noting that an MVP awarded in a certain area is not
required to be an expert in unrelated areas. Whether or not a Digital Media
MVP has a complete understanding of tracert, databases, digital signing of
e-mail or HTML posting is irrelevant if they are providing useful assistance
in their area of expertise. Nor is it reasonable to extrapolate that lack of
knowledge in one area implies lack of knowledge in a different area.
I have never said that his mvp status has anything to do with his network
knowledge, but if you would care to read the CV your company published on
him and provided you realise it yourself you will see that he cannot have
had those qualifications without network knowledge.
Finally, some accusations were recently brought up again regarding MVPs
supporting "pornography". I wanted to be clear to all here that these were
looked into previously and determined to be *completely unfounded* - they
resulted from apparent confusion on the part of one user surrounding the
network television show "The Apprentice" (which as far as I know, no one has
claimed to be at all pornographic). I am not sure how this misconception has
continued - at the time it was made very clear that the video in question
was an attempt to be selected to compete on the television show - but it
simply has no basis in fact.
Once again, your stattments are not correct...the program refered to was
The Apprentice 2. Do a basic search of the internet...you will find an
alarming amount of data on the subject ALL HIGHLY PORNOGRAPHIC Here is the
least offensive link. To me its offencsive anyway...but as it only take one
exception to iunvalidate a statement such as yours...here it is. There are a
lot more that are sdo pornogtraphic I am amazed they are still on-line. By
the way...the God GOOGLE (for the fools in here who say they could not find
any of these links) is not that good a search engine....the proof is in the
result. and I can flood this message with similar links...you refer to some
misconception...would you like me to include all of these links so that we
can watch you twist your above words so that they can take on your next new
meaning????
DO NOT GO TO THE LINK BELOW ITS THE LEAST PORNOGRAPHIC SITE I COULD FIND
THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT MR BROWN HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE ISA TALKING ABOUT

I continue to be pleased with the tremendous amount of accurate and useful
information MVPs have posted here helping users in this newsgroup, and
believe that despite the occasional vocal dissenter, most of those here feel
the same way.
How can you be pleased with "accurate" you have demonstrated above that
you have no idea at all, but...
I take it all back, I was a network designer and manager for a number of
years and consulted with one of you VP's who flew to the UK just to see what
I was doing. I dearly wish I could remember who it was, I would send him a
copy of this lot.
I taught my son, who now travels the world for a very large company
fixing other peoples network problems...and he is both Microsoft and Novell
qualified and re-qualified in all matters regarding networks of all types..
he has to be, he spends more days in the air travelling from place to place
around the world than is decent.
He earns a very large amount of money due to his skills and we have both
had a real good laugh at Papajohn and his statement. I think he is going to
fall of the chair when he sees how you have warped and twisted words so that
you can adopt the stance that papajohn is correct...you are walking very
dangerous ground indeed, you have put these remarks into the public domain
and if there are any people in here other than me that know what network
aware means they are going to be having a very long laugh at your expense.
