>Yes, the PA .Net'ers - JVP's mumblings aren't refreshing. Its the same boring stuff he has been trotting out for quite some time. Oh sure, the subject of has ramblings change somewhat. It used to be VB, COM and its now .NET but the focus of his attack is always the same ... VFP and its community.

>If you and your buddies find VFP so un-cool and .NET the best thing since sliced bread, why not just go to a real .Net forum where your opinion might actually count for something. But wait, maybe your .Net experience would stack up so well with some real .Net experts. Maybe that's why you still feel the need to hang around here - bit safer, eh?

I still feel that the arguments are 2-sided, yes JVP has a strong opinion and makes it known but I still find people in here presenting outright challenges to compare VFP with whatever language is in discussion at the time - that to me is boring in itself, especially for 2 totally different languages.

Why can anything else not be better than VFP? Why does everyone feel the need to compare?

Why do people still not get that VFP & .Net are different beasts? VFP has one way of doing something, just as another language has its own way of doing things.

The whole issue is a joke IMO, and I still can't understand why everyone feels they have to defend VFP as if their lives depended on it, seems to me that this form of defense can only come from in-security, and JVP seems to be the best person at touching that particular nerve.
