What a moron!!!!!!

Personally I'm offended by folks with under 50 IQs posting on this forum.

Possibly in Fayetteville, there's not a resonable size IT community for you to see. So let me describe what's occuring in the rest of the world for you. Foxpro usage has been on a download spiral for many years. This spiral has not been caused by Kevin, Marcus, etc. It's been caused by companies moving on to more modern languages, end of story.

For at least the last 7 years a very large percentage of posted VFP jobs, are for conversion projects. First from VFP to VB. Now from VFP to .Net.

This being the case what problem do you have with people getting training so they can fill those job requirements?????



>Personally, what I'd like to see you do is stop actively trying to destroy a great language and great community.
