If you don't want to fight the fight, then that's your choice. But why do you expect anyone else to give up? A number of people feel VFP is experiencing a resurgence. We have a lot of things to fight for and I think we owe it to our customers. VFP is a great language that is getting even better. For quite a long time, it was more advanced than the more popular VB. Would you have us not recognize that? It is faster and handles data better than .NET, as Kevin himself recognized. It is less expensive for the customer (good for the customer, bad for Microsoft). It has many more advantages, yet has been unfairly maligned by both MS and the IT community. We can't try to deal with that and help people understand what a powerful tool it is? The answer is that we can, but you just don't like it when we do. Who's telling who how to think? I've said I don't have a problem with Kevin offering training in anything he pleases. But the way he markets it makes people feel he is actively trying to move people off VFP and he conveniently forgets all the valid reasons to stick with VFP.

>Its simply a matter of economics. Kevin, Marcus, et al., are businessmen who have seen the economic consequences of limiting their horizons to fox. They have not Kevin has products available for fox and as such has not abandoned it. Why evangelize for something that is of no economic consequence for them?

>You can rant and rave as much as you like, but fox is in decline and has been for years. There will still be work in Fox for the rest of my career, but for the younger set here, they need to look elsewhere.

>The business world is beating a path away from fox, that's a fact. So you can sit in your rosy-colored little world and beat your chest professing the strengths of foxpro to your heart's content. Who's listening? Jim Nelson? Terry Thurber? Walter Meester? Self-delusion LOL.
