>>I see no problem with opening discussion about ideas here. They can be refined and expanded upon as appropriate. Then they can either be presented to MS as a group, or they can be individually posted to the wish list in the Knowledge base.

Of course we do, and if I suggest that by default all vfp textboxes have a pretty red background because I like red, and 100 developers tell me I am crazy, I'll not put it in the wish list!

But, if I'm not to have a place to discuss my wild and crazy ideas, then I'll just put them all in the wish list, and the VFP development team will end up saying, "All these ideas are crazy" including the good ones that excellant people like your self took the time to go thru all on your own!

I'm not saying we HAVE to have discussion about everything that goes into our wish list, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to encourage people to discuss their ideas before they get entered into the list, so that we can make sure we have all the ~best~ suggestions :-)
