I think your current signature should be enough to explain your relationship to the product.
There is nothing wrong with being proud of a business you have created and promoting it when you really believe it would solve the problem involved.
The VFP "community" has always been very bad about supporting commercial third party products.
My own association with the Feltmans at F1 Technologies taught me that most VFP developers who could have benefited from a framework just would not invest in something that could have made them much more successful. There was a lack of understanding about the skills required to build developer tools and the skills needed to develop business applications.
By failing to invest small amounts of money in frameworks or important tools like Stonefield many developers who did not have the skills (or the time) to develop their own frameworks and utilities did not work as efficiently or a profitably as they could have done.
The vast majority of the best VFP developers now use other tools for new development.
I believe those who still think of VFP as their tool of choice for new development are either a few remaining experts who have great tools, lots of experience in business analysis and a client base that provides steady work or they are developers who lack sufficient skills in any other development platform, who may still be struggling with VFP, and need all the help they can get.
At this stage, VFP developers should be grateful that anyone is still offering ways they can extend the life of their VFP knowledge.
I have personally chosen to move on to other technologies for all new development but I think anyone who insists on going forward with VFP needs to know about and seriously consider products like yours that address issues in using VFP in the modern world.
Bon courage.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
