I am very new to this list, and posted the message that started this thread. I need to thank several of you for some great answers. I have been reading all of the posts to the list for the past couple of days. Like most lists you have a couple of crack pots--but very very few. You have a quality list and I hope to learn OO well enough to be able to contribute some day.
