I'm picturing you going to a facility that offers free product goods from charity donations (such as the Good Will or Salvation Army, etc.) and you asking for a free modern home stereo system, and being explained that there are many items available for free but only things by people who donated - and then you replying that you would like the facility to go find someone to donate their stereo system so that you can have one for free.

Great analogy- except that "Good Will" cannot reasonably be expected to supply modern stereos. But a facility that describes itself as "primarily a place for the Visual FoxPro Community to create open source add-ons and such for Visual FoxPro..." can reasonably be expected to cater to stuff that matters to the VFP Community.

You know, I've just reviewed some of the e-mails about this initiative and what I'm reading does not match some of the stuff you're sending at me here. Look:

"Some may still be wondering if this is a Craig Boyd project and/or a Microsoft project. This is not MY project, nor is it Microsoft's project. This is a VFP Community project run by and for the Visual FoxPro Community. I am but a facilitator, that serves at the behest of the Visual FoxPro Community"

Perhaps you'll excuse my daring to comment on a web tool whose vendor was prepared to open source it.

But whatever.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
