You<br> are right that I should probably remove that since it simply<br> encourages bad practice, I just didn't want it to be terribly<br> restrictive either... will revisit.<br> <font color="#888888"><br> - m<br> </font><div class="Ih2E3d"><br> <br> On Mar 5, 2008, at 12:03 PM, Jon Williams wrote:<br> <br> > if the 'extra' prop is such a rotten approach, then i suggest<br> > removing it from GoEvent (unless you can tell me how that's<br> > different) ; ) Afterall, you should just subclass GoEvent...<br> > :j<br> <br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
