Hi Karl.

Yes, some time ago we, UT members, were invited to another forum to look at some flaming battle there. I did it, though refrained from partcipation (personally, I don't like it at all:). However, I saw who participated there and I should tell you that some personalitites probably gave you wrong perception of this forum. UT Visual Fox thread is 99% techical forum for VFP developers and 99% of us have full respect to other developers, languages and so on. Moreover, most of us are multi-lingual developers. So, let's decide we are all happy persons and get satisfaction from our jobs. Actually, the important problem for us in regard to VFP market is how to find 25th hour in regular daily range:).
Take it easy.
