John,

This is a pathetic response on your part.

>>Whil,

>>I saw your Fox/Linux presentation at OCFOX last year; it was great!
>>
>>You've done an excellent job for the FoxPro community. I don't care what all the other punks are saying about you; they are just plain mistaken.
>>
>
>Really??? How's that...????

>>Whil, you've been a good and loyal developer using a great tool.

>lol...What does this really mean?

>>>
>It is too bad that Microsoft wasn't loyal enough to the FoxPro developers to at least do some marketing outside of the developer community, but that's another discussion we've already had here and have assuredly beaten that horse to death over and over.

>You don't get it....do you??? What is the value of loyalty??? Probably your "whillingness" to purchase another book... Remember Cecil, and Whil said it himself...once the books were not profitable, he was going to bail. I guess with the new 9.0 book coming out, there was still a little milk left in the utters...

>>
>I've enjoyed your many FOX books and hope to start using some of your Linux books soon.
>>

>The linux fraud that has been attempted to have been sold.... I thought most people wised up on this one...

>>
>I hope that whatever you choose to do, that you will be happy with it and will be able to take care of your family.
>>

>Yes...I can see the family portrait now... all sporting Linux T-shirts and holding toy penguins....

>Intresting praise you give for a guy who almost killed one of the only fox-related pubs in existence....
