re: How Community Content is Supposed to Work

I'm not sure, but it sure needs to happen. Your request for guest posts on Hyper-V didn't yield too much (except from me). I had serious problems finding configs for my HDS SAN and WS08 clustering and also found little information on NIC teaming and Hyper-V. I have since posted in newsgroups answers to my own questions on these subjects.

I think the rule should be that if you ask a question on a newsgroup and then find the answer or fix it yourself that you should be obliged to post the answer you found or worked out to all the places that you posted the question to.

That being said, I once had aspirations to be an MVP and was told the best way to get noticed was to lurk on the forums and answer people's questions. I did this for a while, but then found I was spending a couple of hours per day on it and just ran out of puff.

I think this is a "hard" problem.
