This is not what I call being honest. Being honest is talking when you know
what you are talking about and obviously you don't. WebObjects is java, not
Cocoa.

Uhmmm, voodoo programming, this sounds quite interesting...

I don't see any respect here. What is the purpose of this list ? Help 'some
members' or all members of the list ?

You shouldn't have to look at the headers in order to understand the
framework and its behavior. This is only the evidence of a bad documentation
or a bad implementation. Cocoa users suffers from a lack of documentation,
not deficiency in C programming. Of course, we are unfortunately not all of
us voodoo programmers, but you will teach us.
