>I had never met JVP in person until the past few weeks. During that time I have attended two .NET conferences at which he has spoken. Probably to the surprise of some here, he is entirely pleasant and amiable in person. His presentations (it was the same one both times so I only attended once) were knowledgeable and informative. He was angry at the end of his time on the FoxForum but that was quite a while ago. His talk was on dependency injection and I learned a lot about it.

At a JQuery developer conference in Boston a bit over a year ago, Steve Black bumped into JVP, and they ended up having a great time chatting with each other in person. While I and others have had their share of threads with JVP here on the UT in years past, he is one of the most fun guys from the Fox community to hang out with in person. For those of you who who go back to the Fox Forum days on CompuServe, there was a guy named Jeff Winchell who was legendary in aggravating Fox developers there, but who was also very nice to be around in person.
