OK... get the point they are different... but that doesn't say anything about what would make it bad to do? (question 3)
(Q 4) Are you saying that OO components do not communicate or perform functions outside the methods? Something can communicate with an Object but objects can only communicate with objects? That goes back to 3... databases... for example: you would not be allowed to do a stored proc... because that would be logic outside the object... is that what I understand you to be saying... or are the lines not as clear as I am thinking?
