The class-side #initialization method only gets called when the class is created e.g. when first loaded into a fresh image. It doesn't get re-run just because you edit the method, because the class is already initialized. By analogy, evaluating ``x := MyObject new`` invokes the instance-side initialize when the object is created. Subsequently editing MyObject >> #initialize wont change any values in the existing object in `x`. Remember "classes are objects too". cheers -ben
