>>>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.

>So David Frankenbach's explanation on Wiki doesn't matter to you. Christof Lange's explanation there too doesn't matter either. Of course, if you don't bother to read them, you wouldn't know. David (in number 6 and 7) do exactly what you described and it doesn't happen the way you present it. And you have the audacity to still say that this is a bug.

Do you have trouble reading, George? - and this is not a dig, but a serious question. DavidF's #6 and #7 do NOT do exactly what I describe at all!!! Did you not read DavidF's note at the top that he had NOT, in any of the examples given, addressed the bloat caused by insertions and that he plans to do so in the near future?????
Once more, this time with feeling: my bug report has NOTHING to do with deleted TAG bloat and has ONLY to do with 'insertion bloat' (to use DavidF's nomenclature). I hope it is clear THIS TIME. And I hope you will re-read the thread starting message, which relates this clearly if you care to read the WHOLE thing. Simple for all but those who will not see.

>>>No, I won't even if you do.

>>>I'm expressing my opinion, and neither you nor anyone else has the right to tell me not to do so. If you don't like it, too bad. I respect others rights to theirs, and, if someone, doesn't respect mine, I have no use them. For all I care, you can take a long hike on a short pier.
>>
>>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???

>You go first!

>Shouting "Bug!" continuously at a time when people are trying to get others to upgrade to 7.0 because it's more stable than its predecessors is counter-productive. I liken it to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. You have a right to do by your rights of free speech. If you do, you have all the morality of slug.

George grabs the high ground, failing to realize that he's standing in a deep valley. I am not inclined to call people names or to label them in negative ways, especially when they do such a handsome job at it all by their lonesome.
