Jim,

You are so obnoxious I can't believe it. I think I'll ask Michel to add a feature to the UT that will allow me to block particular users from showing when I view threads. If you have a problem with Microsoft (for some reason I think you might) feel free to express it (not that you've ever not felt free to do so), but don't insult someone like Craig who has contributed at least 100 times as much constructive information to this forum as you have.

The sad thing is that I usually agree with what you say. Yes, VFP should work in a useful way with MTS which it really doesn't. But you shouldn't attack someone who knows what he's talking about and contributes a ton to the UT.

I know I should know better than to read your posts but it happened to be the first one on the list when I refreshed and I saw it accidently.
