>>>I think we've got to allow an open, rational debate to take place without attaching personal criticism and innuendo to every point of difference. I'm not leveling any personal attacks against Doug or any of the others who have expressed their reluctance to seeing things my way. I'm just trying to be responsive to the substance of the argument, irrespective of the person it comes from. It won't do to leave a faulty argument standing unopposed, regardless of the source, unless the argument is so weak that it requires no further rebuttal.

>>>Do I have my own agenda? Sure, but it's not a secret agenda, and it's entirely consistent with the openly stated objectives of this campaign. I'm a consultant and I've been working for years to develop products built on VFP. The last thing I want to do is split the VFP community or alienate people like Doug, for whom I have the deepest respect, and others (yourself included) who have openly expressed their contrary points of view. I'm not being patronizing, Jeff, I just disagree, and I hope I can explain why without people taking it personally. You can't win an argument by keeping silent.
