Hi Karl,

It'd be a great way to do business. Do whatever the hell you want and force customers to follow with their $ because they don't think there's anything else to go to. Of course you already have to have achieved total global domination and what you're doing still has to have some merit or at least be marketable as having some merit.

That, and the apparent need for occassional morale boosts by sending members of this community out on raiding parties to other forums, all in some misguided attempt to convert the unwashed to a product that no one outside of here cares about in the least.

I know the incident that you're refering too and that really wasn't the original intent. At any rate, given that VFP developers really want a complete OOP implementation - which does leave VB out - where would you recommend they go - Delphi, PB, C++, J, Python, etc.?
