Hey John, absolutely no controversy here. Ken is definitely not alone. He's a big part of the efforts that the Visual FoxPro team and Microsoft are doing to improve the marketing of Visual FoxPro. Your statement is correct there as the genesis of the article. It was definitely his job to broadcast the fact that it was out and he did a great job at it. As you know, we have a team here that supports our marketing efforts and Ken. Many people like Robert Green and the MSDN folks have been thinking about VFP 7 for a while and are envolved with what we do. Ken certainly cannot do it all himself and needs all the help he can get. By the other side I'm amazed on how he clones himself to do so much <g>.

I've been extremely encouraged by the support that he's been getting from people here in the UT and the community including yourself. He always tells me how excited he is regarding all the help he's getting from people here. His mantra that the community and marketing are a feature of the product sounds more real every day, IMO. This makes our job much more fun and hope that we're making here a difference.

Thanks to you and everyone here.
