>I'll be happy to Jim...just as soon as you admit that your thread about CDX bloat was categorically wrong. Something that despite all the evidence to the contrary you don't want to admit.

George, I hate it when people bring up stuff that has quietened down, but when they are wrong still I simply must answer the crap...
...The "proof" you demanded was right in the original message of the thread - a CDX created/REINDEXed under VFP6SP5 was reduced in size by the REINDEX while a CDX created/REINDXed under VFP7SP1 remained at the identical size. The two releases yeilding different results, even ignoring the total size gain, is called by me to be a BUG in the absence of documentation in the VFP7SP1 README to the contrary. "All the evidence to the contrary" does not even address the situation that I was reporting!!! Get this: I was NOT reporting on bloat caused by deleted TAGs in any way, shape or form! Got it now??? Simple for all except those who will not see.

Yes, children, George is entitled to his opinion. I think I have the "right" to express mine too. When someone goes around calling people a danger/threat to the community, I take exception, especially having been told the same thing by the same person myself (which I let go then).
In other words, expressing opinions cuts both ways. Care to join me on that pier walk???

>Finally, from the code posted there is no evidence of a bug. I just don't appreciate people shouting at me. I don't shout at others and anyone who cares to shout at me can expect a blunt and less than tactful response.

Boy, I really thought that, being in the year 2002 now, this idea that capitalization=SHOUTING had gone by the proverbial board. I believe that it has, too, except when someone is looking for additional excuses to be less than polite.
I get the result he claims. He believes it IS a bug. I don't know, tending to leave RESOURCE alone in my code. You KNOW. Then, by all means, educate us all and tell us why it is not a bug.

Ouch! My poor ears! SHOUTING!!! I can't take this! Where's that pier????
