JR,

>Since you chose to refer to me in such a charming fashion ;-) may I ask what you are doing that takes you away from our loving company for so long?

I've been up to my eyeballs in several development projects -- one VFP re-architecture project almost fulltime, a .NET 2.0 web development project part-time, support of a VFP-based backend system (plus Cold Fusion website) for another client, plus sporadic work on a Web Connection based web app.

At the same time, I've been working with Boy Scouts (my son just finished his Eagle Leadership Service Project last week) and building up a side business as a stock photographer, while helping my son build a website revenue-generating site about backpacking.

Then there's the volunteer work my wife and I do with teaching American culture and English expressions to international college students. There simply has not been the available time to keep up with the UT. I'll try to do better and not forsake the loving community here. :-)

>...Also, I must congratulate you on your astonishing luck if it was coincidence that brought you back to UT at the perfect time to refute an allegation involving you. ;-)

Yes, it was, and I'm now paranoid about what else I might have missed while away. :-) I guess it's not coincidental that my name might come up in a thread about FoxTalk, although I came here simply to congratulate Rainer and add my voice to the (hopefully positive) discussion about this interesting development, not expecting to have to comment about allegations of any kind.
