umm yes you did.

And the survey results shows the bias you'd expect based on the sampling of people that took the survey.

T-SQL isn't on the list anywhere either so does that mean it's an "other end" (your term) language too? ASP.Net is less than VFP so I guess it's not important either. Considering Boo had the same count as VFP and while I've not done a sitewide search I'd guess that the article count for both VFP and Boo on larkware.com is exactly zero, so I wouldn't expect many people that use either of those two languages participated in the survey.

Might I suggest you google the two topics a) innumeracy and b) statistical analysis and read a few articles before you go making any more statistical pronouncements about computer languages?
