If they know the answers, nothing is lost. If they don't, a lot is gained.
>Do I need to remind you again about the challenge you set out to make with the VB folks on DevX?
Do I need to remind you for the (n)th time that I had an unavoidable client crisis arise that precluded me from getting further involved?
>In many ways, you logic and reasoning here does not make sense. If on one hand, the person rips, VFP, why does engaging them in a conversation about SQL Server, another tool, serve your purpose?
Because if you can prove that the person is limited to a specific topic in terms of general knowledge, it devalues anything derrogatory said about VFP which is, in itself, outside the sibject matter. It's psychological.
