Gorden, My question is what happens if the Temperature class is renamed to something longer? Do you have to go through all of the classes that declare a Temperature instance and move every single = to maintain alignment? Are you forced to keep names short, so that alignment is easy? Would you prefer correct alignment over descriptive names? If names aren't kept short, then you start having to scroll sideways in the IDE and word wrap in the printouts. Is that desirable? I've been working with SQL that uses the same type of alignment scheme, and these are the problems I've been encountering. Ged.
