- Excuse me, but what the hell are you trying say? The first sentence
- is a real beauty, sort of like you got lost... Drivel, drivel,
- drivel. Politicians could learn a lot from you. The whole trouble
- with expounders of Methodology A, Methodology B, etc. is that they get
- tied up in the methodology, and forget that projects require tangible
- results in a defined time scale (often very short). When you give an
- application to an end user, do you think they care if it was designed
- with structured methods, OOD, etc.?
