I definitely wasn't agreeing with you, but I wasn't really making fun of you either. I'll give you a hint: there's a reason why we have a base DataSource class, which is extended by DboSource, which talks to the database on behalf of a model. Felix's Google Analytics model is actually a pretty poor example. Not because Felix is a bad coder or anything (quite the contrary), but because up till now, there are a few things that people really haven't clearly understood (or perhaps, there are a few things we haven't made clear for people). Basically what I'm trying to say is that you should never have to extend Model in that way. Models are designed to *model* data, not handle the details of accessing it.
