>i'd tend to agree w/ Arnon. if you're finding that OO doesn't improve your reusability rate, you're not building your objects correctly...

Dave,

With all due respect this is one of the weakest arguments used
by proponents of OO. Together with statements like 'Progammers
too stupid for OO' and 'Older programmers (Dinosaurs?) may have
a hard time understanding what OO is about'.

Mind you, I am not taking it personnally. All I'm saying is
that OO as an approach is not a panacea for all that has to
do with computer systems, and the fact that one can
create 'bad objects' can hardly be taken as good argument in
favour of OO, rather to the contrary. It's a bit like the
history of Soviet Russia and Marxism, or is that taking the
analogy too far? Well, unconditionality is unconditionality
whatever the area to which it is applied.
