>It doesn't have to be anyone's "fault". It is what it is, and no one really should expect it to change.

Sure it does. It's M$'s fault.

>Now, over the years I've been surprised at the # who didn't upgrade

There are multiple reasons for that. The biggest, by far, is the lack of marketing and other types of support for VFP from M$.

>but had that number been higher, I rather doubt the situation would be any different than it is today.

No one can say for sure...except Andy Kramek, of course.

>To answer your question....sure, I can be acerbic....but I didn't think it was necessary in that instance.

I considered his blog entry a giant slap in the face to this community and a bum rap to the extreme. I told the two of them, Cathy and Andy, to take "that concept" and go jump in a lake. This is an rebuttal and rebuke of his blog entry. It is not a personal attack. I appreciate all of their efforts over the years. I do not appreciate what they are saying now and as long as I see them saying it, I will stand up for this community and rebuke their comments.
