>>But that is not all your asking for. You are asking MS to ratify your opinion. That was the point I made below...the one you bascially just replied "bla bla bla" to. I understand why you did that. Nonetheless, the point is valid - whether you want to acknowledge or not - that is your choice.

>Hey John. Reading Denis' post and your comments reminded me of a little joke:
>
>A guy dies and goes to heaven. When he gets there St Peter takes him to a huge hall where everybody is just sort of sitting around. Every now and then someone calls out an apparently random number and everybody just cracks up laughing. This happens a few times until the new guy asks St Peter what’s going on. St Peter explains that because heaven is timeless everybody knows all the jokes already so instead of repeating the entire joke each time they just call out the number of the joke they want to say. "Go ahead" says St Peter, "give it a try". So after a few minutes the new guy thinks of a random number and shouts it out, "27!". But the hall remains quite...no one laughs at all. Slightly embarrassed the guy asks St Peter what went wrong. St Peter looks sadly at the new guy and says "its the way you told it"!

>The point? Why not post your thoughts on the demise and non-future of VFP in a new thread. Then you can just post the message number in your replies to everyone else :)
