>When Michael sits around wondering why the UT has never been able to grow beyond the concept of a website to go to for VFP answers (not that there are not some good .Net answers, but they are 99% supplied by those who were previously identified as supplying VFP answers), I think he need look no further then the days of JVP.

>One of the main reasons supplied by those who felt the need to shoot down any discussion he tried to bring up was typically that this was a VFP forum and you shouldn't make comments negative to VFP here. So if JVP ever made a comment that programming constructs could be just as easily be built in VB/.Net it was seen as many here as the time to jump down his throat.

>Kind of like what repub scum do in discussions about the US. If you yell louder then the other guy, your arguement must carry more weight.

That is a very skewed perception of the events up there. It was mainly an attack from JVP with very little actual fact to VFP and motivate people to look into VB and ADO. We all know how that turned out. I've personally technically challenged him on many, many occasions, but he choose to revert to slam dunks (Do you have real life experience?) of technical arguments that did not hold much water. How could anyone up here take somebody seriously saying that ADO.NET in .NET1.0 is justs as good database engine as the build in VFP engine?? Like others here JVP seldomly choose to argue on pure technical arguments, but rather on personal believes, opinion or preferences. This is not bad per se, unless pushing this through someone else his throat. JVP had a big mouth and that was the reason he was booted... Though entertaining, his departure returned the peace up here.
