>PMFJI, I've tried not to get too involved in this thread...

You're so noble.

>Terry is doing what I strongly suspected he'd pull. This is one of the reasons I turned down the RIO challedge.

You're getting pretty good at telling people why you didn't take the RIO challenge. Get over yourself.

>Accepting it meant giving a level of credibility to an individual with a clear bias against .NET.

Maybe, but a challenge is a challenge. You don't have to take it but if you don't, stop whining about why you didn't take it.

>very very few qualified .NET developers

I suppose you are putting yourself in that category? .Net is a huge topic with many areas of specialisation, massively bigger than VFP - define a "qualified .Net developer" and who on this board is, in your opinion "qualified".

>And even fewer participating in bozo-like games or being jerked around.

Terry is pure value for money, doesn't take himself too seriously, loves VFP and doesn't have his head stuck up his own backside.

>I'm going to do so.

What, are you going to take the RIO challenge? If so, I can't wait.
