John, seems that you are big squelching this concept. Is Microsoft asking you to do so, and if yes then let's take that as a difinitive. If no why are you one of the only negative voices on this issue?

I will get together a compiled list of what people have passed to me via email. That group is now at 115 people. I bet we could triple that number with one post on microsoft.public.foxpro.programmer.exchange.

People want an organization for more than being a member. They feel like David and Goliath is out the door. Hopefuly we can create a place for David to gain some stones, maybe a new string for the sling.
