It used to be MVP. Now, it's MSP...

We all know what MVP was when first invented: an American football accolade of "Most Valuable Player" in a team. And we know why Microsoft invoked the cryptonym for "Most Valuable Professional" when it acclaimed people in other companies who carried the Microsoft flag.

So now, we have a press release from Microsoft, announcing that some poor git at the University of Derby has become a "MSP" - a software evangelist.

For a small prize of a Hunkymouse Hat, please let us have your suggestions of what the "S" stands for, if it isn't Valuable...? We can help you with the "P" - it stands for "partner"... and the "M" is staying secret for now...!
