I haven't gotten the memo yet anointing you the world spokesman "for other
millions
of Professional and hobbiest programmers that don't use OOP design". Lighten
up a bit Todd. If you'll look at the above statement again, it's pretty
obvious I'm not that great a fan of OOP either. However, I'm willing to live
in today's world an experiment with new technologies.

Actually, you did take it wrong. Perhaps you should go back and re-read the
original message to Rob. It was a simple question as to if and when he may
introduce OOP into the core Euphoria, since so many messages about OOP were
showing up on the mailing list. I'm not trying to PUSH anything so "heinous"
as OOP on anyone.
