>I think you might have missed the point of my post. I am not comparing apples to oranges, .Net to Fox etc., There are a number of people here who just appear to delight at creating mischief with folks that are quite happy to use Fox and are positive about their tool of choice. Is that wrong? Well to JVP and the PA crew, it certainly seems to be. They appear to suggest that if you are happy to use Fox, your head must be squarely in the sand. I am very happy using Fox as well as a few other technologies too. I am not for/against anyone doing anything they want. Just don't lambast people because they are happy using Fox. Trying to make Fox developers insecure about their use of Fox is the application of FUD at its worst.

Sorry, I didn't miss the point of your post, I was just making a comment.

I think if a developer is earning a living by using a particular tool then there is absolutely none, not any, argument you can make against that, how can you say it's wrong if you living off it? However, if there was massive change and the earning of cash was seriously limited because of the tool you use, and the developer was not willing to change, then I would have to agree about the head in the sand comment. But from what I see there aren't many people here in that sort of situation.

Forgive me for being stupid here (I haven't been here often) but what or who is the PA crew?

Kev
