Jamie, I'm sorry if you took that as a insult about VB programmers. I
was getting ahead of an argument that didn't materialize. I have coded
in VB also. But the comment stands that if the language was chosen
specifically to ease getting developers, then the developer pool was
also shrunk by the other side of the project using linux. Most VB
programmers are fully bought into Windows. Else they would learn more
languages like you have, and Gustavo has said he plans to.

Also Gustavo, I was not trying to insult you either with my comments
about VB. I was not trying to flame you or cause a language war. 

Original quote we are referring about, by myself...
