+1. I actually wrote directly to Glenn Off-list, with similar comments - suggesting he really Should stay - and that these flame-wars are not the norm, and eventually pass - then back to business as usual on the list here...

Most of the, as you put it "immature" posts are ones that are simply re-hashes of old conflicts and rivalries that always surface in groups like these but they are mostly petty and can be ignored despite the urge to join in and fan the flames! I am sure that everyone on the forum welcome in new posters and love to give help and advice. Sometimes Ed's relaxed attitude regarding enforcing (or not as is the usual case) good behaviour on the group can be seen as unhelpful but many years of subscribing have shown me that it is the best method of keeping a vibrant and interesting set of debates going without stifling anyone's opinions. We don't have "policemen" on here, So, as Jean says, your loss if you go. But please stay a while and be informed, sometimes amused and entertained, but always bang up to date where good VFP advice is concerned.

Hosford Sent: 05 May 2015 16:05 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: ProFox List Statistics for April 2015 Wow, I've been looking for a good forum for FoxPro, and was encouraged that this one seems more active than some. And I've been on plenty of other forums throughout the years and understand the camaraderie OT posts afford. But I signed up for the ProFoxTech list, and wasn't expecting the kind of posts I've seen in the past week. With the exception of congratulations to Virgil, all of the replies to this post have been quite immature. I agree there's a lot of junk on facebook, but I expect it there - not on a tech forum. IMHO, the "freer exchange of opinions..." doesn't serve you very well. And yeah, there may be no [OT] posts, but really--there should be. I almost included that flag in the subject, but since at least 1 poster only subscribes to the ProFoxTech list, including that flag may exclude some involved in this posting. Unfortunately, I don't think this will be my new home for FoxPro info. I will do as the ProFox FAQ recommends and "ignore...these idiots." However, as this seems to include some of the most active posters, it may be best to just unsubscribe from the list. I don't mean to be inflammatory; I just wanted to let you know how you appear to any new members that might stop by.

I simply responded back to Ed - and posted the pics from Michael's FB Page - as Ed asked if I could post a screenshot. And - since YOU ARE THE ONE who originally posted about Michael and his FB page - then you are the one being foolish enough to be the ONE who started the "Gossip"! So - maybe you should Think Before you Type!!! -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Monday, May 04, 2015 9:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ProFox List Statistics for April 2015 On 05/04/2015 08:01 PM, Kurt @ VR-FX wrote: I dunno, Kurt.
