Naomi fired because of them or it's about my bad english? That's shame...

>Getting Naomi fired from her job after they had an online dustup with her was not a classy thing to do. It wasn't an unfortunate consequence of their disagreement, it's something they went out of their way to do.
>
>No reasonable person can question Andy and Marcia's knowledge or their contributions to the FoxPro community over the years. But to me at least, what they did to Naomi is a stain on their reputation. It's ugly when the strong prey on the weak. It also bothers me that AFAIK neither of them has ever expressed any regret over what happened.

>>Nice thing for Andy and Marcia to have done, all detractors nonwithstanding. Those guys are a class act.

>>>I just saw that Tightline (iow Andy Kramek and Marcia Akins) is donating three huge licenses for Microsoft developer stuff, apparently valued at $11,000 each copy, to be won by attendees at SWFox. That's a very impressive thing to have done. Bravo.
>>>
>>>I suppose detractors may point out that these licenses were given to them by MS, but credit where credit is due: the copies are the recipients' to do with as they please and nobody forced them to donate copies to SWFox. So it really is full credit to AK and HA. Maybe other MVPs will follow their lead, allowing more SWFox attendees to walk away with massive swag!
