Hi Denis. Let me sum up all his posts for you of the last few years in an easy to digest format::

1) VFP is dead.

2) Its a conclusion I personally extracted from BillG himself seven years ago.

4) You should have moved to VB then (or some other).

8) Now you should move to .Net (or some other).

16) VFP's database is not a real database but SQL is great.

32) Views are rubbish. SP's are great.

64) Because of my historical contributions I have the authority to say these things and in the way I say them.

128) It is my moral duty to do so.

256) I am a lawyer.

512) My CV is bigger than yours.


You will notice the convenient numbering system I have used which allows for far easier re-gurgitation of these statements in shorthand notation. For instance, if you want to say "VFP is dead" and "you should move to .Net" and "I am a lawyer" you could simply post a message saying "265" i.e. statements 1 + 8 + 256. Its a great time saver and we could all get through these threads that much faster :)
