Denis,

While I love to discuss issues that are in the arena of spirituality, politics and so forth and while I do agree with Jim Booth about Chatter being a sort of "water cooler" it most definitely has been my observation that most folks simply cannot endure the kind of internal scrutiny that seems to arise from these kinds of discussion.

As such, I'm all for this being "open" but I would strongly caution those monitoring this area to make sure that there are no personal flame-messages and THE HIGHEST level of behavior is adhered to. Thing is, most folks simply don't have what it takes... Sorry to say.

Let's keep this about FoxPro and general stuff. WHile I see nothing wrong about people expressing their opinions it won't be too long before someone with a bad attitude or personal grudge comes along and deliberately puts the proverbial turd in the punchbowl.

Best,

DD
