I'm not entirely against object oriented programming, but I generally try 
to avoid it until I see a very clear need for it. E.g., a need for 
multiple instantiations of an object, or a need for inheritance in a class 
hierarchy.

I'm inclined to see a big difference between maintaining separate 
namespaces, and real object oriented programming.

Anyone else feel the same way?
