Hi Jos
I will never again waste my time by responding to JVP's messages. AFAIK he is leaving VFP for a completely different carreer as a lawyer, and I believe he has a big personal need to justify this to himself. I think he is getting more and more paranoid, pathetic and narrowminded, but I have seen that happen to other people before, the best is simply to ignore him.

pro VFP forum and is why
pro VFP developers hang out here talking about and trying to promote VFP. Which is also, incidentally, another way of showing MS that a large and positive community exists for VFP.

>Your argument, which you have made in several posts, that members here only complain when something is anti-VFP but not when it’s anti-something else is pointless simply because this is a
pro-VFP forum. If an article, or case study, or whatever, is derogatory to Delphi, or SQL, or whatever then I am sure that in the pro-Delphi forum, or pro-SQL forum, or pro-whatever forum you will find people complaining about it and defending their chosen development tool. What do you expect to have happen here? One definition of insanity is to keep on doing the same thing but expecting different results!

>I have worked with many developers in my time and
all of those who had made a significant investment in time and energy in learning their development tool became passionate about their choice. All of them would defend their chosen language against criticism and attack. That is human nature and that is what makes for a great community. And that, by the way, is the very thing that every product manufacturer, including MS, would like to create around their product. So what?
