for the record, I'm NOT in this school of thought. I'm in the school,  
across the street, lobbing water balloons at this school. I've never  
ONCE had a design that needed class instance variables and I use class  
variables a fair amount. The non-inheritability of class instance  
variables is a deterrent imo.

Since this is a religious argument, I will _not_ debate this topic on  
the mailing list, so don't bother arguing the matter.
