I have to disagree. You mention US numbers (and maybe Canada). There's a world of VFP users out there (professionals that make a living with it) all over the world. Many of them you see in the UT. There are countless others that do not write/read English, never heard of UT or couldn't care less.

I personally am very active in the Spanish VFP newsgroups helping daily as most of us do here. There are a lot of programmers visiting with many regulars and countless others that are just now coming to VFP from FP2.x and even from other languages.

I believe that the French, Russian and German VFP newsgroups are also very active. I also know of many VFP developers in Brazil (a few of which are UT regulars).
