>So in a word, you are
wimping out....

>Fair enough, the proposal is pulled from the table... You obviously don't believe
that in your methodology. Amazing when you put bucks on the table how things change....
>
>Piece of advice Ed...never challenge my integrity nor my honesty.. I mean what I say, and I say what I mean. I am probably one of the most honest, brutually honest people you will ever enounter... As for my integrity, that is rock solid as well....
>
>Also, don't play poker. You are not a good bluffer....
>
>Tell you what, you don't cross my path, and I won't cross yours.... I will however, check the posts out, like I do all over the place.... If I comment, it will be on pure technical reasons. Regardless, you will still take them personally. In this regard, you will need to get over that....

>Attack me personally or make reference to me in another post.... and I will return in spades 10x over.... That is a promise.....

>We are done here..... To bad you could not have stepped up to the plate. It was your golden opportunity...

>>It's the last time I speak with you in English. You probably got an idea, that I have no interest speaking with you.
>>Next time, if you want to get Russian, you will get it.
>>Now about your 'fair' proposal. Firstly, I have more than enough reasons do not believe to your integrity, therefore it's not reasonably to bet on something with you. Secondly, I prefer to make my money working for my clients. If you think that you amazed me by your 1K bucks: no, I can make more and get satisfaction from my job. When I speak with you I do not get satisfaction, so again, next time and all other times I will tell you something about you in the language you don't understand.
>>Well, al least it will be very well understood by spectators.
>>
>>>Ed...
>>>
>>>In very simple terms... you could'nt carry our jock-straps...
>>>
>>>Tell you what.... put your money where your mouth is.... If you are getting anywhere close to what a NY consultant gets, $1,000 should be about a days pay... it is for me....
>>>
>>>Here is the bet....
>>>
>>>You place you horse behind your "unbound" method. I will place my horse behind what VFP gives me for free.
>>>
>>>The scenario:
>>>
>>>We will do a simple system: Customers, Orders, Lineitems, and an Inventory.
>>>
>>>Simple requirements....
>>>
>>>Forms can be multi-instance. A user needs to have the ability to make whole sale changes to a set of line-items, and then cancel those changes, bring back what is on disk. A special rule is in place that if somebody made changes while you were editing a record, you need to warn the user that he/she might overwrite another user's changes.... I am sure we can come up with a few more...
>>>
>>>Judging criteria:
>>>
>>>1. Performance
>>>2. Maintainability
>>>3. UI design
>>>
>>>One basic rule:
>>>
>>>No frameworks, no prebuilt code.... This is VFP in the RAW!!! The Steel Cage Match....
>>>
>>>I am sure we can refine this - add requirements and judging criteria...
>>>
>>>I nominate John Koziol to be a judge in this little fiasco... There can be a few others as well.
>>>
>>>Ed, $1,000 bucks says this "less-experienced" developer will mop up the Big Apple with what ever you produce..
>>>
>>>NOW - step up to the plate and accept the challenge. OR.....knock off with the Russian phrases and personal crap. You want to be personal...fine.. back it up...
>>>
>>>You have been served notice...you have been called out.....
>>>
>>>Your move...

>>>>>Less experience developers? Do you mean Mr. Booth and his petty friend?
