An "Area" class? What in heaven's name for?
I never suggested that an Area class was, specifically, a good idea. I'm sure you've seen examples before that are not pulled from real world usage.
In other words, it really seems you are saying something like
Of course, I've said nothing of the kind. If you would concern yourself with what I say, rather than what it seems like I'm saying something like, we might both be significantly less annoyed.
if you want to retract most of your original node [...] I will agree with you.
It's not at all clear that you're familiar with the original node. I can't retract most of "what it seems like I'm saying something like." I could only retract something I said.
