Don't worry about it. Most of my *really* good programming ideas
come about 10 seconds after I hit the SEND button. :-)

No, no, no. Just the opposite. Object-oriented programming
is so easy that programs get complex just by virtue of
you thinking, "Oh, wouldn't it be neat if..." I find it hard
to STOP writing object programs. There is just no end to the
neat things you can do with them.

Besides, this newsgroup is a good safety net. :-)

Cheers,

David
