Stop repeatedly making untrue and ill thought out statements, troll. Mike

You're implying that VB.Net is still VB, but also that it's evolved into something else. You can't have it both ways. In addition to the fact that "devolution" is not really a word, its implication is false. Evolution does not imply improvement. It implies adaptation. People still using VB are not "de-adapting". We're already adapted to our needs, else we wouldn't be here. If you've found that a new type of fin,foot, or wing works better for you then, by all means, please just go back to the .Net group and use it -- and stop looking back, worrying about whether the other species agree with your new adaptation. It may be a faster wing for you (all 200+ bloated MB of it :), but it could be "horns on a rabbit" for others. We've come to a rather odd point here. I count no less than 5 full-time DotNetters in this group, who are here only to sell the idea that VB.Net is an unconditional improvement over, and the next version of, VB. Three of those people -- Paul C., Bill M. and Scott M. -- are almost always entirely irrational and don't seem to actually offer anything useful in *any* newsgroup. (You don't use VB, as far as I can tell, and Tom, while he tries to be a reasonable person, is nevertheless lurking here fulltime just to argue.) What does all this mean? Is it some sort of ..Net syndrome? Mad Net Disease? Or maybe .Net is like the Mormons: You have to go out and evangelize for a period of time? Or maybe this phenomenon is signalling the beginning of the end of .Net. Surely, if DotNetters were not at least a bit uncomfortable about their situation then they wouldn't feel a need to hang around other newsgroups doing PR. The fact that a growing number of you prefer to argue with programmers using other languages rather than work with your own chosen tool can't be an auspicious sign. Even cranky, fervent Linux devotees don't go so far as to hang around other groups to tell people they're using the wrong tool or product.

You know what, I reckon that subconsciously they need to convince themselves that .NET is worth the time and effort they've put into it. They must realize that no amount of evangelizing is going to convince the overwhelming majority of VB6 users to move to .NET, if these VB6 users were going to jump that way we'd have done it ages ago. They must also realize that one language is not intrinsically "better" than another, it's "horses for courses", they might find .NET does what they need and good luck to them if it's so. I just wish they would go away and leave this NG alone. Dave O.

Hmm... why is it that your best intellectual effort always results in marginalizing other people? Is that the type of behavior *you* would deem rational? ;-) Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic) |
