Yes, I've seen that before.
>As I have said before, I am sure that the Universal Thread is WIDELY recognized already - hell, I even saw it mentioned in a place which rarely mentions *any* outside interest - the MS VFP Owner's Area!
I know, but it's not just for making it part of the contest. Most of the people who know me know that I'm thinking global and I know many people are in the same situation as well. Sometimes, we have to stop and say something otherwise this will remain the same for upcoming contests, etc. We all like our development environment and I don't see any reason why there are so many restrictions in a contest like this. After all, a big majority of people, not being able to participate, has helped to put this product on top by using it on a daily basis, promoting it in corporate environments, supporting it, writing about it, etc.
This is what my goal is. If we can use it then we should be able to participate. The concept of the community is not applicable in this case and this is wrong.
Thanks for your support.
