Hi John,

You have many times explained the difference between a fact and an opinion. Unless other people make it clear that what they write is their opinion, you nail them and ask for proof. Now I use your reasoning, and dare you to prove your own phrase: "With the exception of IntelliSense in 7 - there have not been many enhancements that have made the product materially better (since VFP3, TB's note)."

I also dare you to prove this phrase: "the fact that the other 99% of the development world (including MS itself) has tossed FoxPro onto the pile of irrelevant/obselete technology."

>You don't even dared to dive into the details of ADO.NET with me, because you knew you would not be able to defend your standpoint, You did end our discussions with me when I could prove that you did not know what the hell you were talking about when it came to the enhancements in VFP8. When it gets real technical you don't seem to have anything to say and revert to rethoretical meaningless lawyer talk. Could it be you simply don't know and just are BS us ??

>I end discussions with you because you because it is not a productive excercise. To say that I end discussion because I cannot defend a point or because I do not know what I am talking about is not a reasonable conclusion. One has to greatly discount what you have to say in light of statements from you that conclude ADO .NET does not have a local data-engine component.

>As for the "enhancements" to VFP 8. It is not that I am not familar with them. Rather, I don't care about them. Why? Because in the pantheon of improvements to the product since 3.0, they rank near or at the bottom of the list. With the exception of IntelliSense in 7 - there have not been many enhancements that have made the product materially better.

>The bottom line Walter, you are a Fox-knob that continues with knee-jerk responses that Fox is always better and everything else sucks. Fox-knobs as a class - are people that are incapable of objective/reasoned technical discussions and basically, are in denial and get personally incensed at the fact that the other 99% of the development world (including MS itself) has tossed FoxPro onto the pile of irrelevant/obselete technology.
