Although there is one surprising omission. I thought Bill would have been a shoo in this year.

I though they'd stopped MVPing for faffing about in the Lounge.

I'm not sure, but was that a compliment of some sort?

That, Dear Postulant, is an encomium in extremis, from one who lives in partibus infidelium.
Ha !

Curious, Josh Smith has won an MVP, according to his history he hasn't posted since 2012  .
Might be one for Bugs & Suggs? Seems a bit daft awarding MVPs to people who aren't active.

Maybe has has performed - ahem - "other services" for Chris??? Are you sure you want to know?

Looking at his reputation graph, many of his articles have been 'recognized' in 2013.
Just a hypothesis.

I *think* the MVPs are awarded purely on the basis of Rep gained in a given year, though on this basis it seems to be skewed in favour of authoring articles over answering questions. It just strikes me as counter-productive that CP is awarding inactive members when we've people who are very active (BillWoodruff has been highlighted, I'm sure therre are others) who aren't included. I expect it is be an easy process to remove people who haven't posted in the qualifying year (or some other criteria).

So it's bribe than?
I also got some seeds but didn't know where to send, so I gave it to my birds...

I don't think he was very active until the latter part of 2013.

"Most Valuable Professional"
"Most Valuable" implies there should only be one, and "professional" implies someone who does it for a living.
Surely something akin to "hypernerd" would be more appropriate.

For sheer levels of pedantry/correctness, have a +5.

Please don't smirch the reputation of those guys, you know they are the best of us, they....

Amazing there are a few on the MVP list who haven't posted or created years.

I've raised this in Bugs & Suggestions. Chris has already replied, but I think I wasn't very clear, so I've tried to clarify.

MVP selection process on CP is unfair to me, perhaps they like some guys who has some good articles and hence they select them as mvp all time, not judging other good guy's effort on Q&A.
