OOP Oversold??

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I haven't given up yet, but I'm wondering if OOP is worth the effort.
I know that almost everybody in this forum thinks OOP is the only way to go,
but is there anybody out there who believes differently?
1. Is there anybody who believes that programming patterns will change in
the near future and leave OOP behind?

2. I *love* Asp.net. Is there any language to use presently in ASP.net
that uses the TRADITIONAL method of programming?

3. I chose VB.Net to learn because it looked similar to other vb I had used
on occasion. On first blush it seemed LOGICAL, as other programming
languages I had used in the past. And it is....... until I am told my
code is all wrong because it doesn't use the oop processes.

Is it possible to program with VB.net using traditional logic, without the
OOP? (**Using it only for web applications**)

4. If number 3 is true, who can tell me how to get help without somebody
insisting on OOP?

5. Do I need to be in a different forum? If so, Where?
