>I just remembered. I actually saw Walter Meester when he and I worked with Jim Nelson here in Toronto. The users laughed at his system because he made something they could not use. That has never happened to me. So take his words with a grain of salt.

Ok, now out of respect and decency I never mentioned this here, but since you decided to break that code, I'll give everyone the whole story.

Its a lie, You only went to one client in Toronto (IVFC) about 18 years ago, where the lead scientist by the name of Rod Bycroft was our expert and biggest supporter of the system and our drive to develop it. This is the clinic where our rewrite of the initial software was developed and matured. We made it work and that clinic is still using our software to this date.

First of all, when you came in, the system was in transition from a system I inherited (So no mike, I did not write everything you saw), to what it became today: A world leading system implemented in 4 top 10 universities in the US and more than 150 fertility clinics in the world. Our company now has 50+ employees amongst which a few members here on this forum who can confirm my story. One well known member leads our Indian operations with a full office that exploded in size.

Second. You were asked to work with me on developing new functionality, but instead you and your big mouth went like a nazi through the source code and decided that everything needed to be improved: using
1. mdot everywhere
2 using seperate PRGs for every function
3. 1 class per classlibrary

The icing on the cake was that you were so full of yourself you did not do what I asked you to do in the given timeframe and I had no other choice to fire you. And that is what I did.

BTW, it was Jim Nelson who could not work with you either as you were constantly putting up the Mike Yearwood show which lead to the demise of the VFP Toronto user group (btw that was confirm by two other members).

Now, don't blame me for revealing this, you really asked for it yourself.
