Replying to [honeymoon]:
I don't know about other members, but as for me, posting and replying here is a way to share with and learn from others. And I'd only reply those postings when I feel like saying or adding something, earning MVPs is just incidental. It's never really the reason (otherwise for that matter one may just reply with a couple of words, and there you are you now earn 2 points!) and it shouldn't be.
I have a confession to make here - I never really paid much attention to either "Gold Members", "Trust Pass" or whatever. And I dont actually look at all those banners, so there might be many more members like me? But I do pay attention to what members say or share in this forum, because "I live to learn, and I learn to live".
Cheers!
