Elmer;

Heavens no! That would destroy our secret society and exclusivity is the imperative with the VFP community. Why, would you want some VB or Java person dare use this fine product? Do you thing that just “any client” should be allowed to have an application in VFP? No way Jose!

Just leave everything up to the present crop of VFP’ers. Our numbers dwindle but that is life. Do not attempt to bring new life into the fold as that will upset the business plan. Oh yes – the business plan!

Have you ever felt that VFP is like an illegitimate child or perhaps for hackers and not “real programmers”? I am reminded of “Ten little, nine little, eight little Indians… By all accounts we are running out of Indians. :)
