Hi Don,

I read that article and geeeeeeezzzzze, what a load 'a bull :)

First off, if you take the whole thing as truth then someone is admitting that
they
threw a 'wrench in the works' some time ago, and lied about it.  This means
there's
no telling if they are doing the exact same thing now... either in addition to
back
then, only back then, or only just now.  This of course means maybe the real
wrench
is the new one. If they were lying back then too that's not too much of an issue
right
now.  Of course there's a chance that it's not the real person anyway.

From my own experiences with oop, some one is lying NOW, or trying to throw a
 wrench
in the works NOW.  There's just too many good points about oop (oop taken by
itself
apart from C++ itself) to put it down like that and still be able to say you
have
"at least a quarter of a brain left" he he.

Also, the article sounds like it's too centered around C++ to be confused with
notes
on oop alone, but there are notes which seem to knock oop itself, even apart
from
C++, which are down right incorrect.  The worst is the part about 'reusable
code'.
I've re-used wayyyyy too much code for different programs to EVER be able to
agree
with that :)  I've even built classes from code that already existed, so i just
dont see where this guy is coming from anymore.

Maybe like Bob Fischer who after finding out the 'Russians' were cheating in top
tourny's, he's going off the deep end.


BTW, thanks for pulling that post up again.

Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
