You really are going out of your way to annoy people here aren't you?

This NG is for the original VB only and that means versions up to VB6 
inclusive.

The majority consensus here is that the versions of "VB" after 6 are not a 
logical progression from VB6 and as such do not merit the name "VB". While 
the .NET versions of "VB" may well be adequate languages in their own right 
they are not an evolution from VB6, there is some similarity in keywords and 
the syntax at first glance is similar but that is as far as it goes. 
Converting a program that is significantly more complex than "Hello World" 
from VB6 to VB.NET is so tricky that in the majority of cases it's less 
effort to start again from scratch.
