>Having the Devcon during hurricane season is a Microsoft plot! Since the VFP community foiled MS's plans to drop VFP, they're gambling that the hurricane will finish us off. They know that VFPer's migrate like birds once a year. Should all the VFP users suddenly be wiped out, VB will take its rightful place as the only programming language everyone must use!

>I'm in on it. I confess. MS offered me all the conversion contract work in exchange for my silence! That's why I'm not going! The guilt has become too much to bear. Everyone already has their travel arrangements and I'm too late to head off this terrible disaster...

Sadly, this may be the real reason! Conspiracy theories RULE!!!!!!!!!!!
