John,

Your job... The rumor spreading here in Manhattan is MS has hired you to return to UT and PUSH .NET on VFP people.

Is this true? It is certainly a desperate form of propaganda on MS’s part to convert FoxPro developers to .NET if it is! But you are their perfect candidate with all the hatred you have for some people here. Not to mention you’re obviously emotional imbalance. It would explain you calling John's boss to have him reeled in as you put it...

It’s just like that movie Zoolander... Maybe that’s where they got the idea? Model turned into an assassin by the all powerful industry tycoon in order to further his vision on the non-conforming. It all fits except the model part. ;)

It doesn’t make sense why you’re so considered about what people use to develop software. Are you worried about our welfare, our ability to earn a living? It’s very apparent in your replies you don’t care about anyone other than yourself. Oh, and most certainly the success of .NET. So why else would you come back here? Are you that unhappy with your life that you need to put down members here because they enjoy working with FoxPro? People will move to a different development language when the one they are using doesn't do what they need to do.

You do seem to have a lot of free time on your hands... maybe it is paid time?
