>>I totally agree that MS should be giving equal support to all of their development groups. I took another look at the About INETA page at http://www.ineta.org/Default.aspx?tabindex=9&tabid=9. One requirement for being a member is Concentrate on other technologies but are also interested in .NET. VFP is at least in that category, and MS has repeatedly stated that VFP falls under the .NET umbrella. So, VFP user groups should be able to take advantage of the INETA benefits. If we can get a few VFP gurus on the Speaker's Bureau, INETA theoretically should pay. With Ken's help, they might actually come through. It might be worth a try.

>All that are good points. Yes, despite the fact that the association name seems to only focus on .NET as is INETA, if their mission is has indicated, they should honor at equal basis all other user groups. So, this brings an additional paradigm into all this as we deserve much more credits than the minimum which has not been reflected in Montreal recently.

Actually, it looks like your group is already a member (http://www.ineta.org/GroupDetail.aspx?GroupID=387&tabindex=1).
