Rod,

>>Now I would like to see you find 3 different .NET developers that agree on an approach to anything.

This isn't about an approach. It is about discounting of experiences reported by others because people haven't seen it themselves and/or didn't like it. people on your side of the fence are quick to accuse "VFP diehards" of this. Well, guess what.

>>You take Rick's word as gospel.

Not at all. It just seemed helpful after performance problems with Winforms were denied and my motives and/or competence was placed in question. I was slightly amused to find that and thought it might help people focus on the performance issue rather than searching for ad hominam reasons why it must be wrong.

>>There are many that would disagree with his assesment.

So? If some people experience "anything" then it exists, even if it never happens to you.

I am a little disappointed- I was a lot happier with yesterday's offer to quantify the issue rather than todays reversion to rationalization. Whatever.
