OK - you got that off your chest. Do you feel better now?

>>If I were in charge of the Fox Team - I would mandate that no public comments regarding future strategy are made. Clearly, off the cuff comments get made here. It is clear that comments are not vetted. It actually works the opposite of what you think. The more they say - the more one has to go down the road of clarification. For example, if a post is made that is confusing, the MS author is pretty much locked into what often happens is a never-ending cycle of emails. Ken's last go around with all the longhorn stuff is proof of that.

>>Simply put - it is bad policy to make prouncements and conclusions based on events that are likely to change. In the past - under a different regime - this is the way stuff worked. When the time was right, MS spoke - and when they spoke - it was not premature.

>Your ego is sooooo BIG that it affects your hearing and has totally supplanted any common sense. You are acknowledged as a smart talented personable developer by those who have met you. I haven't had the pleasure myself and your writings here, especially since your return, make me anxious to ensure that I never do. What others have had to say on your behalf surely is old and stale information that is no longer applicable. Which truly is unfortunate, because the VFP community can use every iota of talent available to it.
