The whole basis of what you've been saying is that you are a messenger for a story nobody wants to hear. More accurately, you are expressing your own ideas based on your own observaions and conclusions.

Yet you persist with implications that you are clairvoyant, or enlightened, or otherwise privy to information not disclosed to others, and you use this to bolster your arguments. That's 100% bullshit. Express opinions, fine, but invoke "books written long ago" by "people other than myself" and that you are "just a messenger", well, that's just rich reverie.

I think everyone would be better served if you simply just kept things real and stopped making stuff up (fabricating).

Absolutely anything is possible in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if either the very best or the very worse forecasts for VFP were to come to pass. Or anything in between.

California will fall into the sea, or it won't, or something in between. That's the extent of my knowledge of the matter, and I suspect that's the equivalent extent of your knowledge about the future of VFP.

Good luck with the dot net articles.
