>An interesting thing was brought up to me in regards to the value of UT. During our interviews of candidates for a position, I was surprised on the number of applicants that indicated that they did not subscribe nor use UT. When asked why (since I have always valued the information it gives) the common reply was there was way too much trivial stuff being presented that it became a waste of time and not that much value.

Maybe just restricting a reponse to any one thread from any one member would be an answer. If there needs to be more responses, then start a new thread to extend it. Hopefully the new thread would stick to the original topic. I woul think that after 2 or 3 responses, if there is still an interest, that a new thread would certainly benefit all.

I don't think there anything could be and should be done about it. As MS is no longer releasing new versions of VFP I see less and less interesting VFP threads here. The regulars here became, as Thomas Whiteley predicted, more of the kneeting club regulars type.
