[comp.lang.forth] Object Oriented Prog. - Thinking FORTH

I'm looking for where I saw this...

( a pc group or something )

..where an OOP discussion was going on trying to bootstrap
a few souls, when a certain fellow who seemed pretty wise,
and claimed to have been doing C++ for 5 years professionally,
pointed out the tendency for C programmers to code C in C++,
missing the whole point and thinking they were getting all the benies,
or thinking OOP was f.o.s.

After stating that reusability was what most had not capitalized on yet,
this fellow layed out two beautiful paragraphs,
essentially stating that THE major issues were coupling and cohesiveness.

He paraphrased Leo Brodies chapters in "Thinking FORTH" almost perfectly!

I coulda died laughing if it weren't so demeaning....
