Tom,
Self publish your papers and tips on your own website or the Wiki or here. You'll get wider distribution of the material than FPA would give.
>Over the past year and half a co-worker and I submitted four tips to FPA.
>None were published, nor did we receive any type of acknowledgement. In addition, I submitted an article for publication about a year ago, only to be
>told after the second editing cycle it "still needed a lot of work." Prior to submitting the article, I had several highly respected VFP developers review the content for accuracy and readability. I know of another VFP developer who has had several articles published that feels as frustrated as I do. We both feel the editing process at FPA is too stringent for most authors.
