John;

Thank you for telling us. I was wondering where you had gone? Now with the realization that you stated you would not return to the FoxPro forum, it does not surprise me to see you here. In fact I hope to see you more often.

Have you been doing any thing of interest with .NET? You do not have to get into details and disclose too much. I some how think you will publish some cool information on that subject as you have done with ADO as an example.

By the way I think Ken does a good job of justifying his position.

Later...

Tom



>I created the account in response to what I thought was unfair treatment of Ken. How Fox is marketed and its future are largely out of his control. Whether you like it or not, Fox's lot in life is pre-determined and the ill's of the product's place in the world at large should not be laid at his door step.

>Unfortunately, I took the opportunity to lay some pot shots at people - Walter Meester to name one. For that, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize. The purpose of the account was not for that purpose. I guess some old habits die hard. In some respects, it was a joke that at times, got out of control.

>Don't worry, I am not going to cause any more distrubances here. However, I feel that I need to set the record straight. It is/was not my intention to cause Michel any problems over this. In keeping with my philosphy that at times, you have to be man enough to take the medicine and if you are going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk, I am making this post.
