>>As far as SP being the best option - when compared to RV's - they are.

But she was using SPT. This isn't a book or article where you can invent scenarios to support a position; this is the real world. Leaping to a new script does not explain why you lectured her big-time about what a silly-billy she was to use SPT rather than SP.

>>OTOH, there is not much to discuss when you pit RV's over SP.

Well, nobody is pitting RV over SP - there's that imaginary debate again. What IS being said is that a sophisticated developer considers the circumstances before making a decision; you seem to advocate making a decision first, then requiring customers, developers and everybody else to fit in or they are inferior.

>>The only thing we really disagree on is RV's. You promote their use - I do not.

No, I advocate flexibility and open-minded, intelligent assessment of circumstances leading to whatever decisions make sense in the circumstances. You seem to say that circumstances only matter if they support decisions you made well in advance and which are not subject to discussion or review.

>>If you are going to frame my argument, please do so correctly and accurately.

Not my fault that your argument always seems to involve an imaginary "RV vs SP" debate that has nothing to do with the circumstances ;-)
