What? I can't mention multiple personalities?;-) I am still working on that article. If I can find a valid way of implementing my design patterns in Java I will present those also. If I do mention Java in a negative way, which I do not expect to do, it will be in the context of my own lack of ability to implement these design patterns in that language. I expect that I will try to keep the overall message positive, focused on design patterns, rather than dilute the message with language quibbles. I am now planning to leave any Java implementation(s) as an exercise for the reader. Jim Rogers
