>You suck. For what purpose, John? Let's hear it.

Ok...

>
Liar! Where does law school fit in there days, John? Are you not considered a full-time student at the university you are attending? Or are you mailing that in?

I am part time student...

Ah. So we can all conclude, without a shred of ambiguity, that you personally have no practical experience with implementing dot net applications.

>Why then are you constantly making recommendations to people without knowing their specific situations and needs, nevermind that you know jack-shit about this area? Where do you stand ethically, John?

I recommend that people look to the future - to have a plan. Regardless of what you think about .NET or whatever else, the claims about VFP having the wonderful growing market or that all of a sudden, the rest of the world is taking notice have no merit...

I see you've very recently deleted "Microsoft MVP" from your UT sig. That's good, that's a start. This is less likely to result in injurious reliance. That was my main beef in all this: you're leading people on without properly considering their needs, and without the knowledge that people will naturally assume you possess with MVP in your sig.

You are reading way more into this than is warranted...

>>For the record, I am not advocating that people should dump VFP today...

>Keep playing that card, John. My point is rock-solid, both technically and morally. I can't stand when people are given advice under the false pretense of expert knowledge. That's ethically unacceptable.
>

Two things

1. This is not a moral argument.
2. You are not the arbiter of what is/is not ethically acceptable

This last point - or lack thereof on your part undermines the credibility of the point you are attempting to make..

Now go run along, I think a client of yours needs milking....
