>>It totally humanizes the Fox project. Foxpro was really my first programming language (after toying years before on a TI-994A with the BASIC language). I was just trying to figure it out, and I remember being on the foxforum on CompuServe and was struggling with many of the basic concepts as well as some of the esoteric ones. I remember one message that I posted that was responded to by one of the legends--I think it was Pat Adams or it could have been Tamar Granor. Anyway their response to me was something to the effect of "...Your understanding of the Foundation Read is so bad that I can't really help you here until you do some more reading on your own." I really had a good laugh from that. The responder was correct of course and I wasn't offended by it at all, just taken back by their directness.

That was my reaction, too, so I sure hope it was Pat, not me.

Tamar
