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. >...beyond that unique trait I'm not yet sold on the "classes everywhere" 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. John W.
