I am really not trying to argue about this and in the end as long it works - it's "ok" in my book.  FYI, explicitly calling what the method does (getThis or setThis) with a verb is what works in my brain.  It's just semantics to me and in the end, I'm the one who has to look at my code.  Just my preference and I'm stickin' to it ;-) Best, .Peter -- Peter J.
