Ignore me too. No ugly thread needed.

"Arguably" being the operative term here. It does suck that "this" has to be passed to the object for it to have a sense of "self" with C. I guess I'm just saying that it can be done to good effect with C regardless. You nailed the central theme though. Things get twitchy right there. Built-in flexibility with C vs. built-in functionality with C++? For those who don't know, please don't pee on C for it's *apparent* lack of functionality.
