Coupling is too high - how to design this class better?

Have the classes that do the work register for events they're interested in...an event broker pattern.

You could also use some sort of IoC framework, like Spring.NET, to inject the dictionary. This way, if you get a new message type, you don't have to recompile this central hub - just change a config file.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
