>Online discussion of FoxPro did start on CompuServe. Original, there was a single section within a forum that supported multiple products. After some time, that section had so much traffic that an entire forum was needed. It was called FoxForum and originally, as was the CompuServe standard in those days, had 17 sections. (This is why there are 17 questions in Whil Hentzen's original "dreaded list.") Later on, two things happened, but I don't remember in which order. CompuServe expanded forums to 24 sections (which is why the VFP version of Whil's list has 24 questions). In addition, there was so much traffic in FoxForum that a second, less technical, forum called FoxUsers (also known as FoxGang) was created.

This is great information to add to the history. I never knew the 17 and 24 questions were tied to the number of forums.
