Thanks, Dave. I gather that there is at least a tacit concensus in this community that the WestWind/VFP approach is the way to go for building a serious online discussion system, as opposed to an ASP-based or other approach.

I have this crazy notion, for example, that every software product's help system or "knowledge base" would benefit from being smoothly and directly connected to a corresponding category in an open online discussion system. My sense of it, admittedly based on a very sketchy understanding, is that WestWind's stuff would be a suitable tool to build such a system, maybe even the best tool. Would you agree?
