I know David, I know, boy I was really expressing myself badly, or maybe I did not know? As a matter of fact I am quite confused, I am aware of the correctness of your statement above but I fail to grasp an important question about it -- that was why a was thinking about it a lot before posting again: Is the fact above a quality of Singleton Classes (seen as an entity of itself)? or Is the fact above a quality of how Singleton Classes are used? or Are both statements equivalent, no I do not think so. You see I really get confused about this, I'll just take a break, thx for spending some time on this. Cheers Robert -- You see things; and you say Why?
