I have to say, that's my fear as well. I was hoping we might be able to come up with some kind of compromise simple list package that everyone can (at least grudgingly) sign onto. I'll keep plugging at it while I think there's still hope. If the strawmen only succeed in showing that Booch and friends really aren't all that bad, or that the task simply isn't possible, then it at least has been worthwhile for that. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
