Hi Kevin.

>Second, and more important...I don't recall all the specifics, but I know that in the spring of 2004, JVP offered to write an article for David/FoxTalk. John was doing some pretty interesting work in Oracle for the client we both worked for, and he offered to write something on using Oracle with VFP. David essentially turned him down....I don't recall the specific words, but David essentially was concerned in taking on the "controversy" of having John as an author.

I don't have any knowledge of that so I can't comment on it. Perhaps we could hear David's side of the story (there are ALWAYS two sides).
