Charly,

>I don't see why lazy programmers or bad names should convince you to...wait a minute. I guess I do see. Since we can't define quality programming, quality naming, etc., we'll adopt a standard that we can evaluate it more easily. That way the manager types won't have to actually know anything—just look for the standard. Put in the right prefixes and it looks good. (I'm overstating, I know. I don't know why I react so adamantly either)

Yep, I begin to suspect that either. Like John K stated if an object is called LastNameTextBox he suspects it was named by a punk or idiot.

I think we carry the past with us and not that open to rethink our standards.

Walter,
