No. That is not a conclusion that can be legitimately drawn from your statement, regardless of whether it is true or not. You seem to be having a lot of trouble with your powers of logical reasoning lately. This is the second or third time I have had to pull you up about it recently. The implication of your statement is that IT IS VERY DIFFERENT, and that VB.Net is most definitely NOT Visual Basic. It has some BASIC keywords sprinkled onto it of course, as a sort of window dressing, but that is just a dishonest ploy of the Micro$oft sales people in order to attempt to fool the public. It has certainly fooled you. Mike

But, if you took that way, then take my response a clarification. The response you mostly snipped away, and ignored. -- Tom Shelton
From: Access Developer on 5 Aug 2010 19:05 Tom, instead of cluttering the newsgroup, why didn't you _just_ answer the question (as I see you did) instead of arguing with Mike? The chances of the charter being changed, either to exclude or include VB.NET, are negligible and the chances that most of the people who answer questions here will cease to direct people asking VB.NET questions elsewhere is equally negligible. There are still microsoft.public... newsgroups not only specifically for VB.NET but for particular areas of VB.NET surviving in the news servers. Microsoft has dropped the microsoft.public newsgroups from their free news server "news.microsoft.com" and replaced them with forums. -- Larry Linson, Microsoft Office Access MVP Co-author: "Microsoft Access Small Business Solutions", published by Wiley Access newsgroup support is alive and well in USENET comp.databases.ms-access

[Opps! Split infinity. Probably will catch hell for that too. <g>] Also Tom might consider that it isn't just getting 'A' answer that is useful but having that response 'reviewed' by other other users is equally valuable, and where better to insure that, than in group/forum where the majority of users of that product hang out? -ralph

The Big 8 Management Committee / Group, which has its own newsgroup, is in charge now. If anyone wants the charter changed, or, better yet, a new VB.NET newsgroup created, that's where to start. I used to subscribe to that newsgroup but when I changed news servers did not resubscribe, and have forgotten the exact name. But searching should reveal all. -- Larry Linson, Microsoft Office Access MVP Co-author: "Microsoft Access Small Business Solutions", published by Wiley Access newsgroup support is alive and well in USENET comp.databases.ms-access "Kevin Provance" <k(a)p.c> wrote > Unfortunatly, the men in charge of the charter and the FAQ are dead or > have > long disappeared and no successor was named...so getting some resolution > on > this will take some time. |
