>Hi Mike and why not the newsgroup users spend sometime in the UT.

It think that the "caliber" of questions asked from users on the newsgroup is different than the ones being asked at UT. I think some of the beginners in VFP tend to stick to newsgroups and the more advanced users come to UT. "A long time ago" when I first came to UT to ask what I though was a relevant question, and the answer that I got was more of a put-down than an answer. I think that is the way for a lot of new users, they prefer the newsgroup "setting".
