Hey guys, I have no problem discussing this and I am not offended. I am an OOP purist, and that annoys some people. I didn't used to be this way, I just ended up here... :-)
That said, it's 75 degrees Fahrenheit outside in NYC today, which means its the nicest day of the year so far, and my kid wants to play soccer with me. So I'd like to table this until I have more time, at which point I'll post as thoughtful a response as I can manage! Enjoy the day!
