>I agree, FoxFolk, FoxPro Developer, anything! But I'm sure Barry and Markus didn't write those messages. Someone from the conference promotions who got e-lists of VFP and probably other developer groups most likely sent them out.

Yeah, that's what I figure - kinda scary when you think about having your name attached to an email you didn't even write. Reminds me of another current issue... < g >

Nevertheless, I don't know from where the term "VFP Enthusiast" was originally spun, but I have seen it over the last few years come from MS.


>>I have all the respect in the world for Barry Lee and Markus Egger. However, I cringe when I am referred to as a VFP Enthusiast as in the email I just received concerning DevConnections.

>>Referring to professional developers as Enthusiasts completely negates any concept of professionalism.

>>I know that this was not their intent. However, the power of words cannot be underestimated - particularly with all the current sensitivity surrounding the marketing of VFP.
