I checked out your web site. I did not see a set of principles. I did see
a rather emotional, some would say hysterical, attempt to bash OO. Buried
deeply within are a few bits about what you term "P/R" development, but you
have to wade through a lot of noise to get to them.

You have not shown that there is a set of guiding principles to
old-fashioned procedural coding.
I have shown you that there are principles to OO development. If you don't
like Robert Martin's principles, you are welcome to read the ones in the
first few chapters of the Design Patterns book. You will find that they
agree with Robert Martin's list rather well. You are also welcome to call
on other folks published work, like Martin Fowler. You'll get the same
story. The fact that more than one person describes the same principles
with minor variations does not make them inconsistent.

One more chance.

Provide a link to a single site that describes a fairly complete set of
guiding principles for procedural software development.
