>>Maintaining a repository of articles, URLs and the like is a good thing. Creating 'press releases' to me sounds like we're going to spam anyone whose name we glom every time someone says a kind word about VFP. If this is the case, I won't be involved, and please pull my name from the list of mail recipients now. I get enough junk email now as it is!

See the above. A repository, great; one that we can point at for FAQs, code helpful articles and the like. We just went through what was, IMO, a really fruitless attempt to bombard J Random Idiot for having a wrong idea. I don't want to see that, and I won't be a part of it. Better to keep my mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

As this was the first even quasi-official act of the, for lack of a better term, loose confederacy calling itself the VFPDA, it's certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm just wondering when the loyalty oaths will be administered, and when the confederacy's Board of Political Correctness will condemn the first heathen who spoke ill of their chosen platform of all application goodness and light.

Perhaps I'm being cynical. The bulk of the message traffic to date has shown an awful lot of people volunteering without knowing what they're joining, or what they're being asked to do. I got over that in the military. In fact, we don't even know what the VFPDA is going to do, besides fighting the war for truth, justice and the VFP OOP model.
