John,
Repetition is negative when it come so predictably from the same source.
You seem to lack confidence in your position on the future of VFP and so keep repeating it in hopes of getting confirmation that you are correct. I can fathom no other reason why you push your theory so incessantly unless perhaps you like the sight of your own words.

Some have replied that you like to 'debate' may be the reason. Well, let me tell you, you do NOT "debate"! Your 'debate' typically includes picking a very minor item in words written by a responder and making a mountain out of it even though it actually has no pertinence to the overall issue.
Your 'debate' NEVER actually 'hears' (or responds to) valid points made by a responder and keeps pushing as if the other had never said anything.
You don't "debate", you push and scream and cajole and run on incessantly and always insist on having the last word. You think you've "won" when the messages stop. I hate to tell you this, John, but the messages only stop because you offer/contribute absolutely NOTHING and it simply gets tiring. That you have more stamina than virtually anyone else here is beyond debate. But that's the ONLY positive title you can claim here.

Lastly, in your absence this topic rarely came up and when it did it was short and direct. Now that you're back it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
