Your flamebait has attracted enough interesting and useful replies that I've just added it to my list of references at On Interfaces and APIs. :)

As discussed in that node -- and as you have discovered -- the dark art of interface and API design is certainly not an easy one to master!

Instead of ranting like that in an eight-level deep reply to an old thread started by BernieC, I suggest you start a new thread clearly describing the problem you are trying to solve, along with your proposed API to solve it. Much more likely to elicit useful replies that will improve your initial attempt at an API.
