Well said Tuvia.
I read some of the replies and stopped because of the nonsense.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks Doug for everything you do related to VFP.
Let's hope the bullies will stay calm until the next awards are given ;-)

Anything else should be kept in your mind where it belongs and not put on a public forum so others can gossip and contribute their own gripes.Feel free to reply that the Internet is for saying whatever you want, but I was taught that you can always say what you want -- but a person with integrity says something good or nothing at all -- especially in public.
