I guess I totally misunderstood your sentence. (Of course I was joking anyway, I hope you saw the smiley, but) ...

I didn't realize you were saying "being filtered" as in removed by the forum moderators. I thought you meant they'd died out due to lack of interest, or that people who thought VFP was dying had been filtered out of the forum either by their inability to convince the VFP folk that VB was better, or by their actually being converted to our view, or something like that...

Anyway, I'm really sorry if you took my post seriously. I don't think you're naive, which I thought you would know, which is what I thought made my post funny.
