>As the OP account was used for such mesgs and not for vfp or dotnet questions mainly the source is somewhat suspect ;-)

Russian speaking Fox devs have very strong VFP forum in Russia where they can get good technical answers. My guess is that those who
have good command of English language mainly just read posts here without posting much. OP could be easily one of those who visits here
often and considers situation in Ukraine to be way to serious to be completely ignored in politics forum here.

While for instance US NHS Website problems get the attention as if it is end of the world issue.
(God forbid if Obama was to cast funny look at Beyonce's cleavage or backside and it got caught by US media, all hell would break lose around here ;-) )

Silence on huge subject can be just as frustrating as loud dissenting voices. At least Ukraine's issue is no longer (yet another)
