Hi Randal, Read the article, and it percursor thread. I'm still a little mystified as to what you find offensive there. Perhaps one should be aware of the contents, if any, of @ISA, before writing the new method. It doesn't always work that way, though, and having a flexible [and standardized] constructor does not seem to do any harm. Is there some potential harm you see? I'll grant that I have sometimes felt silly having that construct in a root class, but so far it has not done any actual damage.
