[AccessD] Class costs & benefits

I just want people to know that I have committed to not "jumping on" any opinion.  I will not click 
"reply" on a post unless the author somehow asks a question... "what about", "why not", "how do I", 
whatever.

I get the feeling sometimes that a lot of people don't respond because they are afraid I might take 
them to the woodshed.

I don't use "classes everywhere".  In my applications, and even in my framework, there are about 60 
/ 40 classes to modules.
