>>When looking for Fox-oriented employment, should one simply tell prospective IT employers that they are mere rumor mongers because they don't include VFP, aren't informed about it's appropriate uses, or didn't realize (per the latest TechNet wunderkind presentation) that it even still exists? Do you recommend that I dismiss monster.com, JustFoxProJobs.com, Yahoo classifieds, and *all* of my regional head-hunters etc, as rumor mongers as well?

There is no correlation in an empirical sense. We all know this by now. But there is the association. My point re: market forces & selection pressures does address the *association* with this 'axing' popular notion, which may be argued is 'rumor' even while not affecting such sentiment. I don't believe the rumor. And tulips never were worth what the market would pay at certain times in history. However, it happened.
