>Speaking of which, does MSFT provide a link to the Wish List from their VFP websites?

I thought they did, but I can't find it. It might have moved in the redesign, but I searched and came up empty. The blurb under UT doesn't mention the wishlist. Since Ken reads the UT, perhaps he'll see this and add it as a feature.

It's my understanding that the email alias is dead.

> Can all users of VFP access it easily (and for free) by searching MSFT websites?

Good question. I searched the MS site for "foxpro wishlist", and "enhancement request" and came up with hits, but I don't see where they wish list is actually mentioned. It's probably just an oversight. Either on my part or MS's.

> If so, then this is not any different than the other redirections that take place from MSFT websites, however, if not, then that is an entirely different matter and it should be relocated.

I have no problem with a redirect. I like very much that there is a easy mechanism for the Foxpro team to get the wishes, and that they come in at least somewhat uniformly structured. I can even live with the fact that people would be required to post via Michel's site. The important issue, IMO, is that you have to log in and that one private individual can decide to grant or withdraw access.

As nice and rational as Michel is, as much as I'm sure he'd never let personal feelings interfere, I think that it's silly to invite occassions for abuse of power. But then again I'm one of them constitutional conservatives. *s*

All that aside, MS isn't even beholden to give us a venue, but since they have, I'd go for inclusion rather than exclusion.
