Terry:

I will repeat for the umpteenth time. I am not bashing VFP, I work with VFP, I make my living with VFP, I love VFP, its a sweet development language; however, that doesn't change the fact that its the red-haired step-child of Microsoft and will never have the push that .Net does or will. The only thing the PA crew has said over and over again, is that if you want to keep current in the software development market, you should expand your skillset into .Net. Period. That's all. Please don't infer, refer, read into, read between the lines, etc. If I didn't say it in black and white, I didn't say it.



>>That is not right!
>>We lose such a member as Claude because a few words (I know more then him unfortunately in Bulgarian)
>>IF someone offend me like this I will write a several pages with words stronger then Claude's.
>>Is there any chance to return Claude? What I must do to help him/us? To send a letter to Michel?
>
>Michel needs to make a decision. Is the VFP develoment community his customer base - or are the NOT vendors his customer base. The NOT vendors are okay - let them sell there wares on the NOT forum - let them bad mouth VFP on the NOT forum.
>
>But my rough estimate is that 1000's of us are VFP developers and just a handful are NOT developers (or NOT tier shop barkers).

>Vote with your subscription. If you write Michel - ask that he enact a policy that requires UT employess working for NOT shops (like EPS) be restricted to the NOT forum - and that he hire VFP engineers to nanny the VFP threads and edit the articles (or article selections) in the UT VFP magazine.
