I am assuming (dangerous word) that you are referring to the recent thread fromhell regaring Corporate IT and VFP. I do agree that at times emotion seemed to rule, there was a time that the exchange was good. I flet that for the most part participants were giving the honest assement of the status of .NET, VFP, VB, etc and directions that this business is heading.

I don't mind emotions creeping in to discussion as it proves we are human and care about our business. So let the emotions roll, keep up with the name calling, and the free exchanges of ideas.
