Jim,

In case you haven't noticed, this is not the VFP forum ... don't go getting on John's case about VFP here.

>I see from the below that it wasn't your last word.
>In any case, that is an interesting concept John, for two reasons:
>1) On the one hand Amazon provides the capability to provide comments to assist others who might be considering a book. Here you say one should buy the book anyway, disregarding any negative comments.
>2) We should, by your stance on this matter, also disregard your comments about the future of VFP and of its marketing by MS. That being the case, I earnestly hope that you will stop commenting negatively when anyone starts a thread proposing some way to grow VFP or otherwise worrying about its future. Since negative comments can be disregarded anyway, why would you bother wasting the bandwidth?
