Well, gee, thank you John... Glad I've learned something from my twenty five years of software engineering... > My debate is the thinking that it is an "absolute rule". No one ever said it was an absolute rule. Good grief, one of my sigs is Thomas Sowell's comment that "There are no solutions, only trade offs"!

Which is exactly why trying to argue with you is somewhat pointless - you have made it very clear that no matter how many people tell you this is bad practice and no matter how many references they provide, you simply won't accept that. Fine. Do it your way. You'll never work for me so it really doesn't matter if you want to commit such atrocities! :) > Sean supported the point by saying it violated encapsulation. It violates encapsulation *by definition* since it means your CFC is reaching outside of itself. That isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. The question is simply whether such a violation of encapsulation matters to someone. Clearly it doesn't matter to you but equally clearly it does matter to me, Dave Ross, Barney and others. > So... do you think they should have stopped at windows 95? Windows NT?
