You know Metronet is the ISP of one Patrick Doyle who is a moderator of
como,object.moderated (c.o.m.).  I'm not sure, but he would have a vested
interest in attacking comp.object in order to bolster c.o.m..  But as Bertrand
Meyer, creator of Eiffel and author of the book OO SW Construction, said in
one of the old posts that were reposted, the creation of the c.o.m. group is a
blatant attempt to muzzle those who differ in thinking from the archaic sw
engineering mindset of those who pushed for c.o.m..
