You are a PatternPerson if: * You constantly bring up Patterns at design meetings. * You tell your friends that the GangOfFour book changed your (programming) life. * Your copy of PLoP94 proceedings is already showing signs of being well-thumbed. * You find yourself constantly quoting ChristopherAlexander in work related software documentation. * Your co-workers avoid you in the halls when they see you carrying the PLoP94 book, any book by ChristopherAlexander, or the GangOfFour book. * You get angry when a co-worker tells you that Patterns are just another way to write documentation. * You 'reload' the RecentChanges page more than twice a day. Are there more identifying traits? -- ToddCoram
