Hey Jeff,

I'm tired of getting defensive or trying to educate ignorant users of other tools. So I have an idea: The next time a developer (we'll cut users some slack) says something inane or derrogatory about VFP, quietly smile, walk over to them, take your belt off and whip the crap out of them with it.

When my turn came around, of course I mentioned that I was a Visual FoxPro developer. Before I could mention anything else the instructor said
>"Do they actually pay you for that?"
>Of course, everyone laughed (me being one of two VFPers in the room) thinking the instructor was making a joke. I thought he was making a joke (albeit a lame one) as well until I looked up and noticed he was very serious and was sincerely interested in the answer.
>My reply was "Yes, they pay me. Do they actually pay ASP instructors?".
