>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.

>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.
