LOL... It's theirs Karl - there is no other authority that can 
determine what is or is not VB. You don't like it fine... Whatever.  
But, Mike's whole argument about it not being VB is well, dumb.

LOL.  I don't use VB.  Not anymore.  Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot 
poll.  Didn't really enjoy it all that much when I had to use it - 
always fighting the language to do anything really interesting.

I don't care if he want's to direct someone to another group.  In fact, 
I would too - as stated.  But, you know instead of going on his 
ignorant rant, he could just say - "Hey, no one here really uses VB.NET 
- you would probably be better served posting at...".
