[Mono-list] Windows Forms...wah

[fssc]

Dear Tom, I have used the explicit form of MVC many times, but only when it
is necesaary. I manage some large gui intensive graphical design
applications so I know very well the MVC model and I use it when I need to.
If it's any consolation I have Gamma's pattern book in front of me on my
self, a very well organised and written book, a must read for any budding
comp sci student.

I think we come from two different worlds and we'll just have to agree to
diagree on this. I still don't think you see my point, perhaps it's because
I didn't explain it well. But enough on this topic, I'm sure everyone is
getting quite bored of it.
