Sorry, that was a poor choice of words, I wasn't meaning it critically. What I'd heard was that the opportunity was taken to evaluate the best home for each of the methods, rather than renaming the whole class to something else. Either way, the point as you say is that the problem has been quickly remedied and never hit production released code. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
