>>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?

OTOH, I've heard some people saying "now this will bring attention to VFP - now all of these VB and C#, and most important, M$ corporate guys will see the power that's always been in VFP, and are likely to have a change of mind".
