Do you have trouble reading English? I have said many times, I have programmed in FOX since 1989 and continue to program in VFP on a daily basis. EVERY DAY! ALL DAY LONG!

VFP is a great language, but the fact remains I'm not married to it like some here, nor am I afraid to dip my toes in other waters, unlike many here.

>You infer too much from a few words and jump at the chance to accuse me of assumptions I never made. In regards to "the community", I'd hazard a guess that out of the group still making a living using this powerful language, a significant majority of them do not appreciate the sniping that goes on towards VFP from some of the ex-VFP people. If someone wants to move on, fine, that's their choice. But it's the attack on the old language that doesn't sit well. I don't sit around and slam .NET in the .NET forums or any other language, for that matter. Each language has its strengths and weaknesses, but some programmers (in any language) have to slam whatever they are not using. What are you using John? VFP, .NET, Java, what? Are you one of these people? Do you think it's ok to attack a language as strong and robust as VFP just because you're not using it anymore?
