At their simplest, it's very easy to see CFCs as a collection of functions, of a function library.
There is nothing intrinsically OO about a function library, so there is no reason why CFCs should be required to be seen as purely OO tools.
While it may not appear to 'hurt' anyone, it is very easy to underestimate the effect of many people on a 'good idea' thaat gets the 'This is not OO' treatment.
It takes a pretty resilient type of person to post more than once or twice if their ideas are somewhat radical and I think it's in the interests of everyone if we avoid that.

I can't speak to "OO Fervor" cuz I ain't been payin that much attention... maybe it's been fervently OO in here...
My post was just meant to indicate that no matter HOW you use CFCs, there's going to be an element of OO in them. Not only that, but it'll never heart anybody to learn something new.
I never meant to push anything on anyone... and, like I said, I still have a completely procedural site. I still write code (lots of it published on my blog even!!) that's procedural.
However, I still contend and will until someone gives me a reason to quit, that regardless of how you implement them, there are intrinsically OO aspects involved when you develop with CFCs, that that fact should be recognized when they're being discussed.
Anywho...

As much as I like OO and as much as I think it's a good thing, I've been around the houses enough times to know that pushing one mode of thinking doesn't tend to foster too much innovation.
CFCs are very capable of being much more flexible than just OO in their implementation and as long as people continue to cajole those who ask questions into thinking in an OO way, innovation is going to suffer.
I vote for a scaling back of the "OO is the only way" attitude that this list seems to have adopted recently. It often doesn't provide the answers that people have asked for and it probably kills alternative possibly better suggestions.
It reminds me very much of the religious fervor that usually surrounds fusebox. Again, I think fusebox is great, but I want to constantly explore new and innovative ways of thinking. As long as there is this overbearing insistence on OO thinking I don't think that is going to happen.
