>Walter is, as always, right. VFP has no future only because of Rick. Right now four top corporate MS lawyers are on the plane to China to stop Chen from continuing his work (I am sure that these lawyers will have no problem finding a very smart developer named Chen in China). So, Rick caused it.

>The average age of VFP developer is 60 years old. But that would be changed since thousands of young developers are eager to learn the VFP and take over supporting and enhancing the legacy VFP programs. The only thing that holds them back is fear that Chen’s product would be suspended and therefore VFP has no future.
>Shame on Rick for causing it!

That's absurd. And its not about whether VFP has a future or not. Its about people putting their time into a product with all their heart and because of some idiot see someone challenging their morality and honesty, by putting a label as a criminal on you. And that while the case is very weak to say the least

If you think that is fair. Go ahead and smear my name. I don't care. My job and my company does not depend on VFPs future and not even any VFP skills unlike others. So my rage is not about me, but to the ones that do have an investment in Chens efforts. . I've seen too many unpleasant types like Rick in my life who impose their morality on others. If you want to be on that side, I'm sure your welcomed by Rick, but do not expect me to respect you.


BTW, Not that it matters, but my age not even in the proximity of 60, in fact only one of our VFP programmers is over the age of 60. In our company its more like mid 40ties.
