Yes, my command of English is rather poor, and I have no intentions to
compete with you on that. (it wouild be quite funny for non native speaker
like me to do so). But, I am glad to hear that my second attempt of
communicating my opinion to you was more succesfull.

Things are far from beeing that simple, there is no single universal "right
way" of programming. It is funny how is programming world full of "true
believers" who know the only right way to write programs, yet they rearely
agree between themselves even partially. I would advise anyone to try to
use OOP, but if he is not getting it and/or missusing it, results would
easily be worse than if he had not used OOP.

Do you often extrapollate statements from only a few points of data?
