I "still" don't get why you were so up in arms about what JVP said back in 2004.I wasn't up in arms. Those few posts illustrate what so many people found exasperating. IMHO it's pretty obvious, starting with the initial inflammatory assertion.
I also don't feel like debating this, unless you specifically can state why you had such issues with what he said.Issues? Well, I suppose it might have been nicer not to be exposed to the personal allegations, or the swipes at VFP developers in general, or to have seen acceptance of any of my 3 attempts to revert the discussion back to technical matters. But whatever. "Truth hurts," I guess, so it must have been my fault. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
