Steve,
In your editorial you write, "I'm not sure why I was picked."
That's very humble. But as someone who has benefited from the SQL expertise that you and many others bring to this site, I can tell you that there are uncountable reasons why you were picked as an MVP. The service your site provides and the effort you put in to keeping the SQL Server community connected and informed are only two such reasons.
If they had not picked you for MVP status, then I'm not sure who would ever qualify. :w00t:
Congratulations, and thanks.
Best regards,
webrunner
