Yes. I'm not sure why you seem to think I don't. There are times when you need to do something conceptually like having a list of things of similar, but different kind. There are different ways to go about this. Briefly mentioned in my original post: object pointers; or breaking up the data according to DDD (just because something is conceptually one item, does not mean it cannot be spread into different data structures. after all, if you have an array full of things, there's likely one property in common between those things of different kind that is similar and germane to their being in the collection).
