Really?  I thought it was to avoid the two by four you're carrying!  LOL

William,

I just want people to know that I have committed to not "jumping on" any
opinion.  I will not click "reply" on a post unless the author somehow
asks a question... "what about", "why not", "how do I", whatever.

I get the feeling sometimes that a lot of people don't respond because
they are afraid I might take them to the woodshed.

model you espouse ...still waiting for that magic bullet in your
discourse  :)

I don't use "classes everywhere".  In my applications, and even in my
framework, there are about 60 / 40 classes to modules.
