I've just had a very quick look through all my posts here in cljp and AFAICS this is my very first actual 'technical' question here (well, apart from one about PayPal which was a matter of desperation given that their 'technical support' is a farce). I'd be interesting to know which posts you were referring to so I don't make the same mistake in the future. > If you had said "I searched for > 'static Java class' but didn't really understand the results," that > would a bit different. But at least trying to look stuff up is pretty > basic. I was actually trying to understand the term 'static class' in the context of a discussion about Singleton classes. It is apparent from the replies that my question was valid. But thanks for taking the time to reply lipska -- Lipska the Kat©: Troll hunter, sandbox destroyer and farscape dreamer of Aeryn Sun
