Good, thanks for explaining yourself. My apologies for the knee-jerk reaction, I should have noticed our mutual communication error earlier and pointed it out, but it was a little hard to grok. We are at least 90% on the same page, which for all practical purposes is good enough.

But, to create an aggregate class simply to collect things ... that's the red flag.

Then this is why we've had all of this confusion. I had no idea you were pointing out what you considered a red-flag in Limbic's code, rather than mine (I was using map). Thanks for clearing this up. To be fair to Limbic, there are analogous situations where this might make sense, for instance if he was implementing some sort of spiffy event notification list or message dispatch table, in some form or another -- but it would need some tweaking to be that versus what I see in it now.
