you might want to reserve that comment until you know me better ;)

>Heard y'all thought me and some of my buds were "asswipes" and thought I'd at least pop in to see how much things had changed around here. Last time I came by, such language was a definite no-no. But, I guess having folks like Koziol running the joint changed some of that, eh?

Actually, I woudnt give Koziol all the credit, he's too passive to deserve it. I prefer to think that it's either A) a pleasant side effect of the forums here maturing with increased traffic OR B) osmosis from a combination of brutally honest types like JVP, Ed Rauh, I guess myself included, and others.

ahhhhh yes, now that's what I like to hear! Nothing better than a smart ass who can respect likewise talent LOL!

>If y'all'd get a decent interface here (read: NNTP), sure, I'd swing by a whole lot more often. Alternatively, I'd be happy to welcome you (and everyone else here) on over to DevX! Just point your readers at news://news.devx.com/vfp.general (or, for those of you with facist netadmins, http://news.devx.com, but be sure to slap a swastika on your admin's back first, okay?)

I'm not up on the protocol buzznyms, is NNTP newsgroups? And I've been lurking on DevX for quite awhile. Interestingly enough, I'm not active over there because I cant quite figure out how to navigate around the browser based forums. Plus too I recently set up a new notebook with NT4 and Outlook2000 and havent figured out how to get my favorite newsgroups (like the OffRamp) configured in native Outlook as opposed to having to revert to Outlook Express,

Actually, he's even more wrong because we can safely assume everything he claims to have said is not as as advertised ;)
