John, it's a mindset not totally unlike that of a med student who studies a set of symptoms - and goes around concluding that every occurance of those symptoms are a sign of a specific condition.

This gets back to a question I asked of Anthony Testi last week - asking why somebody's (Gunnar's I think) was good thinking. That too could not be answered.

As I said, one of the biggest myths is that Fox "does data" better than anything else out there. That may have been so in say 1994 - but in 2004 - and for quite some time, that has not been the case. A bitter pill to some is that .NET actually processes text FASTER than Fox.

Ah how the level of innovation has regressed. Today, innovation in the rest of the computing world is measured by how you can scale apps and process data. In the Fox world, it would appear that innovation is measured by the many ways one can manipulate the new feature on how to rotate a label...

Pretty sad when a legit question is greeted this way. Clearly, I hit a nerve - and a grain of truth.
