  I first got to know Robert on Usenet, in comp.objects. Later, I read
  something in his book about the difference between object-oriented
  and structured, which hits the nail on the head regarding the
  crucial point about which of the two paradigms has what advantages.
  At least 99 percent of people who talk about this topic don't get
  this point. That's why Robert is head and shoulders above Herbert
  in my book - even if Martin might make the occasional mistake.
