Sometimes I use a static collection in a class to store instances of that
class. Everytime I instantiate it, a reference to the instance is stored in
the static collection. This way I dont have to use a manager class of any
kind to deal with all the instances.

Is this a pattern? good/bad OOD?

-TIA
