Really?, I find that hard to believe given the amount of bollocks appearing in this group :-) It is a tricky concept to grasp but in the end most people who are capable of thinking rationally come around to my point of view. > Please tell me Oh Feline One, if your system deals with "people", how > are you going to model them? Sigh ... my systems never *deal with people*, that's the point. You seem to have missed entirely. It is *never* the case that a Person class is required. 'People' and other actors interact with the system. I have never found a need to include a Person class in any system I have ever had anything to do with. It's a fact, it is possible and it pays dividends. Open your mind, think about it ... it really does make sense. -- Lipska the KatŠ: Troll hunter, sandbox destroyer and farscape dreamer of Aeryn Sun GNU/Linux user #560883 - http://www.linuxcounter.net
