I'm not having problems with the pattern. I'm having problems with how to
implement the pattern. Do I implement just the base classes and have a config file with hundreds of entries or do I implement hundreds of classes? Do I put stuff in a file or a database? How do I maintain the hundreds of Observers when the difference between most of them is just what they're observing and what parameters they pass to the same command when they trigger?
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
