Wrong directory in my newsreader, sorry. These usenet messages 
were cancelled from within the Google interface about 1 minute 
after they appeared there. I could have sent an offical
CANCEL message but from past experience Google does that, too. 
Old-timers with real news-readers will probably see the 
postings anyway.

PS: I prepared a long reply to your posting with Pountain quotes. It
got lost in the same 'accident,' and I don't have the time to rewrite
it. However, my conclusion was that we agree a lot more than you seem
to think.

PPS: 'Embarassingly object-oriented', is not meant negatively. For 
some problems (i.e GUI/Windows) OOP is the obvious choice.
