Jim,

What the heck do you have to investigate??????????????????????

Do you deny the basis of his contention that you slam any post made on the UT that even hints at using another technology besides VFP? It is very possible for some to hide inside their shell and do nothing but VFP work. As it is possible to exist on any technology.

However, if you check DICE or Monster and review the few VFP postings that still exist, in at least 50% of the cases VFP is only one of the required abilities to get your foot in the door.

As Dmitry has said, any discussion of technology here can only help to make us better, more qualified developers. Your are obviously unwilling to accept that. No problem. But don't try to force your believes on the rest of us.

Some of the discussions of various technologies are the best discussions the UT has to offer. But typically they degrade into personal attacks thanks to folks like you.

>>>>>>Claude was very valuable member of this community. He is a very good guy, helpful, very knowledgeable, and often time pushing the VFPT to do more. But I think he was at fault himself for being kicked out (even thought I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH HIS BANNING FROM UT).
>>>>>>
>>>>>>But you SHOULD STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT SAY. You attacked one guy because he was promoting use of SQL Server, you attack others for promoting .NET, you attack another for making too detailed input in a VFP discussion, you even attack Sergey (Mr. VFP himself <g>) for making constructive suggestion to another member. Do you see a pattern here?
>>>>>>
>>>>>>I remember the same arguments years ago in Clipper CS forum when people started talking about switching to VFP and windows applications. They were yelled at, criticized, were told to take their VFP and shove it. Now, all those who stayed in Clipper forum are selling insurance and driving cabs.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Give credit to the intelligence of people in this community to analyze, study and to decide whether .NET, SQL Server, or VFP (or maybe all of the above) is good for them, their carrier, and their business.
