Hey Mike (PMFJI):

>> Good design and flexibility is in the eye of the beholder.
>> Abstract factories are only one way to provide flexibility.
>> The real issue is, do you need that much flexibility.

Isn't having too much flexibility like having ... um ... too much money or too much fun <s>? Especially when it comes at a low overhead cost. I think I'd rather have the flexibility there in case I needed it vice running into a brick wall in a framework that didn't have enough.

I ain't jabbin' at you my man (nor MaxFrame neither) ... I just read that last sentence and some flags started flying around.

Best,
