Guess who sounds like a cranky old fart now?

I'm positively jovial in comparison. (My preferred methodology,
coincidently).

;-}

Oh, and btw:  the world is generally comprised of objects, which has the
interesting effect of influencing most modern sw developers to prefer OO
environments (and methodologies, tee hee) over the older procedural ones.

So, with that, and the fact that it is now 6:07pm Madison time, I will put
my glass (object) of beer down on the table (object) and head down to the
room (object) where my poster (object) session (object) is to be held in a
few minutes.  Where, I will be spending the next two hours describing to
people (objects) the intricacies of our new TeraGrid (object) MRAC (object)
project (object).

Cheers,

--Doug

Hmmm.  OK.  How's this:

OO methods are always an impediment when the application is not
naturally an OO.  And the lack of any method is always an impediment if
the application has some natural structure.

Perhaps the following opinion will fall on more sympathetic ears:

For those of you who use phrases like "OO methodologies", it's "OO
method".  The word "methodology" indicates the study of method.  You
sound like a bunch of stodgy old bureaucrats whose only skill is placing
clip art in powerpoint and go to every length to establish their
relevance with made-up words.  "Methodologies"... Sheesh!  We may as
well run around talking about all those biologies, physicses,
sociologies, ontologies, and phenomenologicalies everyone uses.
