I agree with you. In most cases, the companies dont have any strict control 
over creating new objects. But, I have seen synon shops which do  "code 
reviews" bofore promoting pgms into the production environment.  The code 
reviewer is supposed to make sure every new object created has a valid 
purpose.  But I strongly believe that the programmers themselves have to 
assume more responsibility in this issue. I also belive this comes with 
experience.  Usualyy the newer/younger programmer are more interested in 
cranking out more code faster - they dont like to spend that extra bit of 
time searching for existing objects.
