Yup.

I can go for that.

>I was your hero????? I appreciate the fact that you appreciated the work. Too bad a certain editor at FoxTalk did not have the same appreciation..< s >.. In any case, I have no desire to be Dr. Dot Net...< bg >...

I don't blame you.

Re-read John. I said "there is plenty of scope for a vibrant healthy Fox", I never said it is. This is surely part of Ken's mandate. A strong VFP with something different to offer is always going to find a niche. Maybe that's where the problem lies. VFP can not be the mainstream tool many would like it to be but, its a great niche player.

>even if it takes a crow bar, I will do so.

Steady on boy.

>I am sorry if my position puts a damper on your feel-good parade..

It hasn't. I've never been happier. I am more productive in VFP7 than ever before, I am learning C# - I might look at VB.Net too. I am delving deeper into HTML/XML - lots of good stuff. Just takes a lot of time.

>more people than not agree with what I have said.

Well, that's your take.

>No offense, but I am not going to back off for you or anybody else...

Don't be so aggresive ya'touchy old Fox.

>I know you put a < g > at the end - so I don't know if you are kidding.

Of course. There's always one, and your it <g>.

Love your new sig line. Miles better than all that JVP VFP MVP stuff. Besides, VFP MVP must be quite a weight to carry when you venture over to the dark side.

Best
