I was more surprised with this part of his statement in that message:

won't be producing any more Fox-related conferences, publishing new books, editing new issues of FoxTalk, or doing new development in VFP. It doesn't make sense to invest in new Fox-related things cuz they won't make money.


>Whil has published several Fox books since that announcement. He never quit using Fox or supporting the community, put on his own Fox conference, and spoke at Southwest Fox last year after getting his required whitepaper, slides, and source turned in on time, unlike one person who had been asked to speak, then told he was no longer invited after failing to get things turned in.
