Oh John,
A high level language for my English (wish it was in VFP code :). All I can understand you were having attacks for your thoughts. If I understood it correctly I would disagree with the attacker.
To be honest I have your periodicals in MSDN bookmarked :) You were my inspiration point especially in making my step to ADO (I wished you've done it with VFP tables but no problem I succeeded to translate :) When it's VB and VFP I think you're the master :)
Regards
