Default A ? for our Excel Guru's and MVPs

I would occasionally "check-mark replies". I used to access through the
"old" web interface. It wasn't as bad as this newer version. When MS

dumped
the older version I switched to using OE.

I think that having an MVP "endorse" or "approve" replies is a good idea.


I disagree. MVPs carry no more authority than anyone else, the award is
based upon their readiness to support communities, and the amount that they
do. Quality is an element, but there is no benchmark that I know of
associated with the award. There is no suggestion that an MVP is smarter,
better at Excel, or anything else than say you for an example.

The thought that an MVPs answer or opinion but come to be regards as the
'right' response just because they be an MVP sends a shiver down my spine.

I would also guess that there would be few MVPs who would care to be
carrying out the admin task of endorsing or approving the reply. What
happens when an MVP endorses a reply and it is wrong?
