I have a feeling that whatever I say you'll find the way to find the negative side about it.

I'm lucky you have too much typing to do


>Now who's taking things too seriously? I think that cho
ice of words is a little dicey when talking about a deceased individual, but I didn't flame him out over it. You took my comments the WRONG way. And I can't clap my hands - got too much typing to
do today!

>>>Wow. Wow. Calling someone who's died a bastard? Death is a bit serious in my opinion. Yours? And we get way too serious and religious about our choice of language without enough of a "program and let program" attitude. Sure, I'm pi$sed at M$ for killing a great tool, but someone's passing can help to remind me where that and other things rank priority-wise. That's all. Hope you don't mind that.

>>>>>>You know, it's interesting . . . these two subjects together, I mean. We look at KG "leaving" due to a ban and we look at Jim Nelson leaving due to his death. Some might say "good riddance" regarding KG, but people said good things about Jim even though they may have had differences with him, too. Being polite? I think not. The comments seemed sincere. Mine was. Perhaps it's a new perspective. A reminder that we'll all die and there is more to judge us on than what we say here. Yet we might be harsher on KG because he's alive.

>>>>>>That's a mistake, wouldn't you say? I've had my differences with KG, but there is a MUCH bigger picture. Does someone's skill in VFP or .NET or their opinion on a particular language amount to a hill of beans? Do we think God will judge us on the elegance of our code when we show up at the Pearly Gates? Now Jim knows these things all of us can only wonder about. One thing I think he knows now is the importance of getting along (I'm not saying he didn't know it before, I'm just saying I think he has a new perspective on it now). I'm guilty of slamming Andy Kramek in this thread, so I'm no exception, but I'm going to try to do better. Perhaps we all can, KG included. We're here, we're alive, and we're not one-dimensional. We can let someone like VFP and someone else like .NET without denigrating either language or either person, though we sometimes forget that. And if we do that, people don't have to get banned. But when we're "banned" because we're simply not living on
