was that some sort of challenge, Ooble? Like "Shootout at the IRC Corral"?

Ummm... sure, why not?

I believe exceptions are just dandy for the case that isn't supposed to happen. When writing some code, I am grateful that I get meaningful exceptions that tell me what's f**king up...these are provided by the .Net framework and by myself. Ot's convenient to have it break when I throw it so I can diagnose it. Pretty much I throw a lot more than I catch

Nope. exceptions are not supposed to be a regular occurence.

I would also like to point out that in a very great deal of the classes there is NO private data or encapsulation. This leads to fun things like this: (this is actual code, variable names have been changed to protect the guilty)

object.widgets[object.widget_num] = foo;
object.widget_num++;

instead of the much more obvious

object.add_widget(foo);

Open up an IRC client, connect to freenode, and then do "/join #programmingforums".

i don't know about you but I don't like to search around for where something was declared, i know it's not a problem in .NET with the "goto definition" but maybe we won't always be viewing the code through that.

i like to have all my variable declarations organized.

i do agree with the for loops thing though, since you know right where to find it.

It's IRC :p . And you need an IRC client that's registered with your browser for the link to work - otherwise, just do as Uman said.
