...despite insistence that some parties know what is best for all of us.

I don't think "best for all" is the grope-of-the-moment. The "experts" have become pariah priests for the temples in Redmond. It's easy to sense that information and tools are being withheld so that only a "few" of us can benefit.

Where is VFP 9 foxISAPI? Why did Whil get a call about wine? I am sure the "experts" were freaking out and did their fair share of "wining" before the lawyers made the call.

The only thing they have [left] is the "fat boy's" apron strings and the dwindling confidence of prozac drenched punch drunk - yet ever hopeful coutiers hoping to gain favor with the buffet machines in Redmond:)
