Heh heh :) I actually do care, because (not having a Java/C++ background) I actually do get a mental "double-take" every time I read about "class variables". It takes a real effort of will to remind myself that they're probably not talking about something like this: for theclass in (int, float, Decimal, Fraction): do_something_with(theclass) > I found that his posts are generally useful and helpful, one just has to > cut all the nitpicking, ...
