"Business" is done in funny ways these days, Denis.
I think of the generic drug maker(s) who took multi-million dollar payoffs from the proprietary drug makers to NOT manufacture drugs that have just expired their patent.
I think of the "VFP9 Focus" magazine put out by CoDe and its use as "proof" that CoDe still does do VFP stuff when it is pretty clear in my mind that it was really a MS marketing effort and nothing more.
I think of the big health services corporations in California who have cheating U.S. Medicare and Medicaid integrated into their system!
I think of company after company defaulting on their pension plans or otherwise re-interpreting them to lower benefits to their pensioners and employees.

Just some examples to say that we can no longer have ANY idea as to what might constitute Michel's "best for his business". For all we know MS could be putting pressures, or even doing payments, for certain things to Level Extreme.

One thing is pretty clear, and that is that the rules have changed and it is not for the better!
It looks pretty clear that a person can insult/belittle all VFP developers and suffer no consequence, at least if its done in the name of .NET.
It looks pretty clear that any attempt to defend oneself against such crap can easily lead to expulsion, at least if you are known to NOT be a .NET sympathizer or to be pro-VFP.

Things just have a very bad smell at this point.
The odour might improve **IF** Claude is apologized to by UT Management and dis-barred.
