Subject: RE: speed of writing good code
 
  It's only faster if you're used to doing it.  <g>  Seriously, a lot of
people who program have a lot of trouble with the idea of building a
program out of small components.  Some of them are afraid and others
really don't get the concept.  It's hard to retrain someone who has over
ten years of experience writing bad code that produces correct results.
