Cor,
Keep in mind my last post in the thread to which you are referring (to alpine) was essentially
sarcastic. Sometimes it's the only way to respond to the nonsense posted by some Classic VB
developers.
There is nothing in that thread which indicates that I believe the languages are completely
different. I don't.

That's fine. I wasn't speaking to what you said specifically. My comments were in reference to
discussions I've had with other VB developers and their opinion that VB.NET is a language that is
completely different than Classic VB.
I don't know what your background is with respect to Classic VB (or whether you've actually used it
before) so I can't make any judgements as far as your statements are concerned.
If you're simply repeating statements from Classic VB developers then all I'm trying to do is
dispell another myth.
