Microsoft made me a C# MVP! . I don't have to add that I'm very very very happy with this title and I hope I won't disappoint as an MVP in the coming year.

The story is a little funny so here it goes. First they mailed me (in March) on an account which I don't read anymore because it receives a truckload of spam every day (and bounced emails because it apparently is used by spammers as from-address). Then, I received an email on... April 1st, which was sent via this blog. Needless to say, I was a little sceptical . However .Text also includes the IP address of the sending host which was a Microsoft IP address. Strange things happen then: sceptic thoughts fight with pure joy. After replying the email, it turned out to be a legit email, and I became an official C# MVP!
