>>I understand your position. But when I am at a presentation, I usually am not an expert on the subject. The presenter probably has a lot more knowledge than me. If he/she is negative about VFP, he/she can probably win a short debate just by throwing a few terms, with which I am not familiar, at me and making me look uninformed. Maybe I could win the long debate, but there is never time.

I agree. But how do you know unless you ask? And if the person is negative and throws a potshot at VFP, the result is bad. If the person simply lacks knowledge of VFP, what do I hope to gain? A "I didn't know VFP could do that. Thanks. Now lets move on..."?

It is simply not the forum to market a product From The Stands. The marketing is done From The Podium. The information has to get to the speaker before he/she starts the presentation.
