>I was being facetious, but only half-so. You are the UT owner, of course you have the power to do so. That's not to say you should or would - two wrongs don't make a right, and reducing total traffic here couldn't be good for your business.

Yes, I agree that having the ownership of the product/company allows me to create some initiatives like that. But, in overall, I usually start by initiating phone calls. In this case, all I can offer is support. Despite the fact that I know a lot of information in this, I'm not involved directly with a user group. I can offer logistic, support, proposal of concepts, etc., but I'd leave that up to Montreal user group leaders to see if some of that should happen. I have always given some support to user groups over the years. This is some kind of activities that I like to help into. Of course, it was not the case in 1993. In the first years, I was involved in some work into that, hosting and maintaining the Web site, presenting, writing the newsletter (at a few occasions), etc. At that time, I was also starting to get involved more. But, after a few years in it, you start to know a little bit more on how the wheel is turning. When I started doing FoxPro, it was in 1988. I was pretty much isolated in the office at the University where I was working. Then, I started to attend conferences. And, suddenly, I've been involved in attending a meeting with some people who wanted to form the Montreal Visual FoxPro User Group. This is pretty much my history in that.

So, that said, I like things to be done fair. :) I don't think it's the case in the original topic of this thread. Some user groups in Montreal have done a terrific job over the years. You can't just turn off the door against them at this point without providing explanations, asking/proposing them new/updated solutions, etc.
