But Kevin, can you explain why this request is done here?! Did you speak to him? Is he still an active .Net programmer? Did you invite him back esp. in that section?

Can you indicate whether or not new fox_versus_net wars can be expected?

John has been doing work in several technologies...his clients have been using Oracle, SQL Server, .NET, Crystal, and yes, even the Fox.

I told him that unless he had objections, I planned to post this. This is 100% my doing, not John's.

I can't predict any 'new' arguments about anything. But many of the things he's said over the years have held water.
