No real harm intended, Cetin, it's just frustrating to watch these threads deteriorate when they don't need to. Especially this one, which I think has more promise than any of the others.

>Jay,
>I actually did a couple of times in different threads (maybe including .Net forum). So now you understand what made me such as an ... (wish I never saw this said to me). Anyway you gave my lesson not to participate such discussions.

>>Why didn't you just say that to begin with? A bit defensive there. Might make sense to have the same person do both, but then there would likely be an obvious bias. It's a tough task, but I still think there could be a way to do it. RIO was setup as a challenge, Rod responded, now it seems obvious that someone could respond back.

>>>Simply put it doesn't show anything and doesn't serve anything. See Dorin already did.
>>>To say it from another edge I could write a whole application with VFP over a night and lend to .Net coders saying create the same and benchmark.
>>>Possibilities are they wouldn't understand how to do that in .Net in a few days, they would understand and create over a night or between. Same with .Net. All actually point to one question, is it the tool or the one using the tool.

>>>"just look at the number of posts and time spent for some people on here."
>>>How do you know it. A magic calculation time spent here? Or are you simply checking logintime. Well with that calculation I'm working over 24hrs a day/7days a week.
>>>Anyway I don't like to see language/tool camps.

>>>>>You don't have time but others have? Well I don't have time too. As I replied to Einar about it, corresponding VFP code could be done in an hour or so.

>>>>>>After all the openly negative noise for the past year from the "Fox'ers," I'm glad Rod has finally done something to quiet it all down. What I would like to see is for someone to take the cheesy RIO app and rewrite it in Foxpro to challenge what Rod has done. I can't, I don't have the time nor the chops for it, but I would like to see if it can be done.

>>>>>>>Either way, it has been done and that's it. There is no need to appear so openly smug because Fox'ers have or have not responded in a way that you deem appropriate given Rod's success with Rio.Net.
