Perhaps. In the meantime the UT has less value after the banning of each VFP knowledge contributor.


>Also.... Claude was banned for a couple of reasons. They are both related to behavior.... He threatened John Baird 1st. And 2nd when told to chill out he didn't. Then to compound his own problems he logged in under another account.

It takes two to tango. He was the first to let his anger get the better of him, thats all. I am sure most people here could be baited to that point. It is not really difficult to do but does require some time and effort. But what would the benefit be to do so? Some apparently enjoy the "sport".


>As a professional, trying hard to run a business he simply should have known better to do things like that online. IMO he got what was coming to him.

IYO. IMO there are better and/or fairer ways to deal with this.


>On another note. There will be discourse here. There are certain folks here that are taking the plunge to move to .NET. There are certain people that are "evangalists" that promote this idea. VFP and its history come from the evangalist idea. Guy Kawasaki (former evangalist for Mac) was a speaker at an early devcon as a matter of fact.

This does not address my comments at all. This simply repeats what has been repeated ad nauseum by certain pro .Net members and assumes the target audience is too stupid to have gotten the message by now. I think all of us understand the options out there including .Net.

The question to ask is this: why do certain pro .Net members feel it necessary to harp on the standing of VFP in the programming world and to do so in a VFP forum? Are these same members harping on the standing of other dev tools in the forums of those other tools? It is simply a wierd behaviour.
