	Yes it is clear that many share your like of C++ as both a
close relative of Simula and C, our favorite easy-to-get-yourself-in-
trouble language. Others, like myself, prefer languages with a greater
degree of object orientation within their design. I personally think
that having objects and messaging as an integral part of the language
is cleaner and more useful than being tacked on the side. But, of 
course, that will not deter C++ becoming even more popular. I guess
I'm just a spoiled sport purist.
