Al,

I don't have the comments - verbatim. I don't archive what I write on the wiki. Steve has them - as he does archive.

The gist of what I wrote took on Steve's assertions about the "health" of the VFP market. He made some comments about who .NET is more susceptible to rookie mistakes as opposed to VFP. I commented that a rookie is a rookie - regardless of the tool. He discussed what he labels as the "value chain" and delivering maximum value to clients - and that .NET was inherently unable to facilite the delivery of value. I addressed that as well.

The bottom line - Steve blocks IP addresses and edits out content when he cannot defend a point. People that do that are intellectually dishonest. I have no problem saying that here because I have said it to him.
