I mean to imply that there are probably more Delphi users over at m.p.v.g.d

Agreed...  most of what I do in Delphi are small non visual utilities to work 
with RBase (rdbms) and VB is not very well suited to the limited API.  Since 
the GUI was completely rewritten in Delphi (beta was in 2001), it made 
expanding usability with Delphi DLLs and Plugins a must.
