Is anyone using the google users list or was my question lame?

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I'm pretty tired and am trying to convert the last entity of a complex
(lots of relationships)
model over to AR (from strongly typed datasets - yetch!). Everything
has gone swimmingly but I have this funny entity to model which is a
subclass of User and has a 1-1 joined table.

The schema looks a little like this:

User
   Id
   Name
   Password
   Type

Customer
   UserID
   Address1
   Address2
   Country

I'm 1/2 way through setting up the JoinedBase/JoinedKey for
User/Customer which is all groovy - however I need to have some other
specialised subclasses of User.

AdminUser
SupplierUser

Which don't have any new fields but do have new Relationships and
behavioural differences.

Can I make this work or do I need to change the underlying model? I've
got a lot of latitude with the datamodel (basically - I can do what I
want) but I'd rather not use singletable inheritance as Customer has
_many_ columns which are irrelevant for all other users.

j.

p.s. I'm really am tired and something is telling me I'm missing
something fundamental - like the whole question is a code smell. If I
am - feel free to tell me.
