Honest question, why does one gross you out and not the other? I don't do .NET and in the Python community "global functions" aren't looked down on, so I'm just trying to learn something.

Wasabi--which is what FogBugz is (mostly) written in--has honest-to-goodness global functions, which are very different beasts from Python's module-scoped functions (unless you import * from one). I might be wrong, but I suspect that's what bothers df07.

Oh, global like GLOBAL. I see. I thought he just meant non-methods.
