Is this post supposed to be humorous in a good way?

In any case, I thought I reply to this with a few rebuttals: (inline)

>I think you guys are being too hard on Ken.

>As he has constantly stated he will be updating the FoxPro web site to our advantage and making FoxPro more visible.

>Has anyone acknowledged the fruits of his labor?
>Has anyone checked out the links at the FoxPro web site?
>Just look at the code samples.

VFP recently added to:

the VFP home page has a link to:
http://www.foxcentral.net

and the UT's main page where you can read most press releases related to VFP and the VFP community.

Most of which can be directly related to Ken's efforts (at least on the promotion side). Then there's the active role he plays here in the UT, which we didn't get in a consistent basis from previous VFP managers at MS. (Robert Green did do a good job before leaving the post)

So in summary, you just need to look harder.
