I can get a half a hundred idiots to post that VB will die and we should all learn Common LISP and use PostGRES under Linux to do all our small business application development and implementation. Who gives a rats ass that J Random Jackass with a development company shouts "The sky is falling!" and recommends moving to a 1950s era bomb shelter?

Walter, you've just made a completely convincing argument for me not to join the VFPDA. I spend my time making things work, I'm not going to join the thought police and spend my time quashing rumors.

Most of my clients rely on me to pick the right tool for the job; that's why they hire me rather than an idiot with a hammer who thinks all problems are nails. I can't remember the last time a client said "I want to hire a VFP programmer to write an application"; the standard question is "I have an application I need developed, how would you recommend doing this?"
