Also.... Claude was banned for a couple of reasons.... And 2nd when told to chill out he didn't.

And whats really strange, if you allow me one comment - is that the thread nanny works with EPS (as you do) and the "baiter" whose boss hired EPS (and associates) walks clean. Somebody should have tried to stop the baiter. Twixt you and I - my projects have benefited from claude - the baiter has not done anything except dilute my concentration for a few moments.

Today, "The Baiter" sounds a liitle like JVP - are you sure JVP is not up to his old posing tricks again?

IMO he got what was coming to him.
So are others - so will others. The silence is defening. Right now - your reputation and the reputation of the people who come up with them zany VFP is LIE, NOT is TRUTH nickle and dime marketing ploys is plunging. Take the silence for what it seems to be - you old school (and marquee) geeks are out of time and too behind. You may have have aged beyond your usefulness to the community. Hopefully you can nest on shallow NOT laurels for a couple of years - and then - you will just fade fade away.

Best of luck!

I can mentor you - but it would take time (lots) and money (lots)! (is that a bit over the top?). Perhaps best just to start shopping for an old geek braggerts' rest home now!
