You’re quire right. References are important. However, I get antsy about a reference to Wikipeida (look at some of their examples of Design Patterns, and you’ll know why. Even better, check out their definition of Private Class.) I tend to use several references and then make some kind of generalized statement based on the good, bad and ugly that I’ve found. I am afraid of turning this blog into a turgid academic tome; but still I’ll get my ducks in a row and be better about references.

Kindest regards,
Bill
