I don't think there is anything emotional in my statement. I'm simply asking for you to personally back things up with facts...just as you've asked me.

I've never said it can't. Here is what I said:

Will it get more OOP? Probably not.

I don't think so.

I'm not totally ruling this out, I just don't think it will happen.


Note that I've stated my opinion here. I also backed up my opinion with facts that gave me this opinion.

>All I am saying is that IT CAN BE DONE.... With regard to how easy the job would be, I don't know. If you are going to refute that statement, then you are taking the position that it can't be done. If that is not what you are saying, then you don't know the question you are refutting... Primary rule, know what it is you are arguing against...

Will the VB kernel be rewritten? Eventually, it probably will be. As technology changes, the software has to change too. How many times has MS rewritten the Windows kernel? Several times...always when the technology required it. Will inheritance be included at that time? I don't know. When will this happen? Again, I don't know. Can I speculate on this? Of course I can. I have my guess, but it is pure speculation and I have no facts on which to base my guess.

>Because rewriting the kernel is something YOU trotted out. It was never part of my argument. In fact, whether it can/cannot be done has nothing to do with re-writing the kernel.

Here you use the word fact... are you saying that you have personal knowledge that it can be done without rewriting the kernel? You seem to equate facts with personal knowledge.

>If it does, so be the case.... It still does not have bearing on whether it can/cannot be done.

I didn't realize I was being graded on spelling.
