Though my blog may indicate otherwise, I'm doing very well! I've been doing a lot of programming and gaming lately and now that my dad has officially retired we've suddenly gained an actual living room! But that's for another post, I hope you're well too. I also owe you another set for apologies for still not returning your books... If it helps, I think about it every day :) Now for your question, I was so inspired by it that I'm going to answer this in a whole post of itself. Thanks for commenting on this! Coincidently, I was just wondering how to people involved in the the discussion and here we are! The post should be up in a few hours and again, thanks! Hi Serge, it has been a long while indeed!

Isn't it about _encapsulating_ mutable state? Maybe it's just a matter of wording - but 'hidden', in my dictionary, means that it's totally out of reach. Encapsulated state (again, in my dictionary) can be modified, but only through controlled operations. Regards! Hello, Meticulous!
