>And how is this information going to help you anyway?
Because I want to understand why people think VFP getting mentioned, whether it is a central part of an article or as an aside is a good thing in it of itself..
>Will your exixtence as a developer suddenly be validated?
By simply mentioning the product? I don't think so...
>I think it's great VFP is getting mentioned outside our own little community.
Why is it great?

Aferall, brand recognition is big piece of any marketing effort, even if the information presented has no immediate value.

Outside the community, VFP does not have the brand recognition you think it has...
Also, creating a brand is not necessarily part of all marketing efforts. For example, MS will promote VB - but they don't want VB to become a brand. Rather, VS is the brand.
Creating a brand may very well be the single most difficult thing to accomplish in the marketing world.
Every brand is a product, but not every product is a brand...
