That's interesting Peter becuase it would seem to me that passing it to the constructor would be preferrable. Why have a public setter if you don't need it? "Hide by convention, reveal by need" and all that. Further, if the object requires these values to run, my opinion would be these should definitely be passed to the constructor so the object is guaranteed to be properly initialized before anything else can use it. Your thoughts?
