You know John, statements like that you make these posts out of a "moral duty", and the above, are simply saturated with arrogance. For some reason you seem to think that making pro-VFP statements is equivalent to making anti .Net statements, which clearly they are not.

You seem to derive some sort of twisted delight in trying to antagonize and needle people on this forum. But the truth is that many of your posts are simply arrogant and rude. Now we get the pro-JVP team of course saying "get a thicker skin" or switch on the twit filter. But that is not a solution. It only ensures that such rudeness and arrogance become the norm. We dont enhance the community like that. We just break it down.

I have not seen pro-VFP developers bash .Net per se. I see them question whether to use it now or not, or when, or how. I have not seen a single post here saying that .Net is complete rubbish and should be ignored. I see posts questioning aspects of it, its speed, its readiness for deployment, its application to smaller shops, its strengths and weaknesses vs other tools such as VFP, its future upgrade path, etc. But no one dismiss' it out of hand. Just becuase one is enjoying and profiting from VFP does not say they dismiss .Net, or the other options.

We all know that tools come and go. We all know about the MS push on .Net. We all know about the (very viable) alternatives such as LAMP. We are not in need of a self-appointed saviour to point out the monumentally obvious fact of life that things change.

But you're a clever guy and I suspect that your posts have much less to do with showing us "the way" and have much more to do with the satisfaction you appear to derive from just getting on peoples cases. Which is so easy John. It is so easy to "get at" people. But it creates nothing. It contributes nothing. It takes away, it breaks down, and generally is a destructive process.

And please dont try and brand me as a "VFP luddite" like you do so many others. I have been looking at .Net and Python and other options. I have no problem with using and leveraging multiple tools including the awesome VFP9.

Now, do your usual; pick at a few sentences and make same snappy comments and miss the point of the post entirely.
