>>Everyone is NOT equal. I have been bullied and harassed by one individual for years on a specific topic. mdot is documented, it is built in to foxpro. There is no denying this. Walter wants to force his opinion onto every one - an opinion that does not work in the wild. I am not wasting my time here anymore.
>>Good riddance.

Well, you can write good VFP apps with and without mdot. Many of us did in the days when mdot was out of fashion.

Is mdot technically better? I say Yes, but I also have historic code that doesn't have mdot and works as well as it did the day it was written. Sometimes I will prefix an mdot if making other changes, but otherwise it boxes on.

People who disagree on mdot's technical merit come up with some remarkably clever other stuff, as happened right here last week. They're not dumb. FWIW, if we'd shut down dissenters who began saying mdot has value in those days when we all knew that camelcase was far better and mdot consigned to the obsolete dustbin- then we'd all still be using camelcase without mdot. QED.
