>I'm still not convinced that it's as easy/fast to work with data in .NET as it is in VFP, but I have a hard time dealing with peoples throwing stones at someone who dare express his opinion just because they don't agree, or worse, won't even read the message with an open mind.

I found WoodieW's message deliberately worded to be offensive. Re-read it and then tell me it's "just an opinion"!
Why would he opine that he doesn't even know why he got into VFP... and in a later message state that it was his first programming language??? I guess he didn't know that when he wrote first!

His entire message (the first one) was designed to be belittling and demeaning. There are far far better ways to express an "opinion" than with the crap he wrote there.
