One more thoughts provoking presentation from M. J. Dominus: "Design Patterns" Aren't. "How can you distribute responsibility for design through all levels of a large hierarchy, while still maintaining consistency and harmony of overall design?" Does anybody see the analogy with NLP principle: The Map is not The Territory? "One form of limiting map is what I like to call "questionable prerequisites". These take the form "I have to do (or have or be) this before I can do (have, be) this." A beginning coach might assume, "I have to be certified (or have a brochure or have more experience) before I can approach business clients." An employee might assume, "I have to be invited to work on this project." An individual might assume, "I have resolve all my own issues before I can have a meaningful relationship." OR, The coach could just start talking to people about coaching. The employee could contact the project leader and say they are interested in working on the project. The individual could enter a relationship as an imperfect human!" Isn't it the same kind of limitation we experience applying patterns? BTW, Mark, your advice worked great for me. Thanks.
