Considering that you're the one who joined the thread by saying: "This seems as good a time as any to delurk and jump on a soap box" and "The FP paradigm is intrinsically poorly adapted to the kind of large scale design concepts that concern most programmers. Object oriented programming is a much better match, not because of a conspiracy of commercial giants in the software tool business, but because of intrinsic technical reasons. Functional programming is a niche technology ideally suited to simple domains like language tools and formal methods. It does not have much to say about complicated systems," I have to say that complaining about the style of others' comments here takes considerably bigger brass balls than I possess. Congratulations.
