New classes inherit the strange qualities from the old ones unless
that was fixed in the new class in which case there is a very good
chance that you have to rewrite and then the old quality has been
warped into some different sort of quality and, of course the new
class introduces new qualities all of its own.

For Fucks Sake.

This is not evolutionary.... it's *** mixed with molasses.

Um... do sit down, and is there anything you'd like to talk to us
about?

Let me suggest that it's not about code, but about design. Better
design can do a lot to reduce the strangeness of your base classes.

In your terms, fix the ***. Don't just stir in the molasses.

One of the mantras of good (better than me) designers seems to be
that an outside resemblance is _not_ sufficient reason for an
inheritance relationship. There has to be more to it.
