Well then your reading, or your memory, is extremely selective. I was using shorthand for "too old to learn a new language", "too lazy to learn a new language", "hanging on to a dead tool", "hvae your heads buried in the sand" and variations on the theme. ALL (repeat: ALL) of the from bona fide members of the PA Crew and their go-to guys.

No, your frequent mention of the JVP debacle makes you an honorary PAer.

If you recall there was a heated discussion of data binding and .NET. Instead of participating in the normal he said/she said discussion I created a sample app for anyone and everyone here to look at and discuss. This proved to be a more productive approach to discussing issues.

There has been all along, but then the PA Crew would have little to say in this forum. The simple solution - cease and desist from belittling, denigrating, insulting and maligning VFP and the developers who use it. Simple as that, and communicated so many times it hurt to count that high!
