An interesting perspective to be sure, Bridgett, and I am still digesting it.

But something else comes to mind that may support your theory. There was a period of around 2 months when Ken was not "seen" (hadn't even signed in) on UT. When he did surface it was announcing the .NET ToolKit for VFP. Was that the thing that kept him away for 2 months? If so, is that a good or a bad thing, in the context of your theory?

The reason that I still have to cogitate on your theory is that I am quite used, myself, to fragmentation within the community. Usually I am the fragment, but sometimes others join in and lively discussions ensue.

cheers
