I do not think you are being overly critical at all. I'm comfortable with the notion that we may disagree on these issues and that's ok too.

I just got the impression that you weren't hearing what I was saying so I said it a little louder. <g>

As I have mentioned, if you honestly think your approach is better - great! Go for it. I just have not reached that point yet.

I also think that as professionals it is incumbent upon us to constantly better ourselves.

The business about the survival of VFP isn't quite as dramatic as you suggest I'd think. There will IMO be plenty of time should things go in a way I think they will not.
