Hello Ken,

Isn't the customer always right?

You may wonder why I ask you that question. It's because of the way you seem to be replying to persons questioning MS tactics regarding VFP. No matter if the customer is right or wrong. Every reply should be handled with care.

I've been questioning myself over that statement "The customer's always right" wondering if it's true. The main reason it that being a consultant sometimes customers will say things in certain ways. If I confront them my future relations with them could take an ugly turn. So instead of taking that risk I always have to find a way to make them agree with me or find a way to do things to make them happy. So I realized over the years that "The customer's always right".

It wasn't my goal to make your point, but there you go.

It also wasn't my goal to make Ken look so immature on this thread, but he left me with little choice.

His reply to your message is classic -- if you want an example of a non-caring reply.

In rereading the thread, there are at least five distinct, concrete lies in his messages. Not shadings of truth. Flat out lies. In all seriousness, I got tired of counting. Not good.

I wasn't trying to be brilliant -- all I did was reply with concrete facts and a constructive way out. He refused to take it. At the end of the thread, he tries holding on to "incorrect assumptions" like a shipwrecked boy holding onto a life raft. That had been debunked hours previous to that.

Denis, you, I, Ken and every one who reads this thread screws up. We're all wrong on occasion, that's just being human.

(...and you don't speak as ordinary guy "Ken Levy" but as Ken Levy official representative of MS) -- and that's why one shouldn't be so clearly reckless and out of control. One rotten apple can spoil the barrel...
