Rod,

>>If you were marking a VFP to .NET class where would you go ? You would probably go to this online forum and some of other VFP forums.

Of course I would. And I would expect some people to be annoyed at my use of the forum for free advertising that they find threatening. My main concern would be the people standing by to laugh and scoff cruelly at any such dissent.

>>Funny you call those people that talk/preach/evangalize about .net pyromaniacs. It seems time and time again the same people from the VFP side of the island that start lamenting how there VFP gets no respect.

Is this "straw-man" day? ;-) The "obvious" pyromaniacs to whom I refer are obvious pyromaniacs. They jeer. They scoff. They belittle. In this very thread we see assertions of IQ less than 50, psychiatric illness, stage guffaws... need I go on? I'd have to say you and Kevin McNeish are counted among the gentlemen of the dotNETset, but if your fellow travellers follow around after you overturning cars and setting shops on fire, people do start to associate you with that ;-)

>>On another note... you attending devcon this year ?

I wish I could. I'm in LAX for about an hour this afternoon, then off to the midwest. One day I'll find time to stop on the West Coast so we can have that pint of guiness at last with Tom!

Regards
