Well....you get into all sorts of legal and ethical issues when you talk about thread mining for paper publication. I am sure that Michel has considered it.

But the potential still exists to do it outside of thread content. What if I wanted to put out a one-issue newsletter about VFP Forms? I would need an overview article, and 5-7 articles on forms. There are plenty of authors and DevCon speakers who have talked or written about forms who could write articles on the subject, distilling a lot of experience and know-how. Then, the next time you are creating a form (or taking a sh*t - lol), you could turn to that paper resource for insight. See what I mean?


>>Maybe what's more appropo in the paper media are targeted mini-books or newsletters about specific features of Fox. Kinda like the old "Pros Talk" series.

>I haven't heard anyone suggest this, nor have I ever seen it in print. But, the thread archives are a literal gold mine that UT, or some publisher, could edit into periodicals, indexed for easy reference, and available when one journeys to the Great White Throne. :-)
