Thank you for your article. In The Visual Studio Code Analysis Team Blog they explained (http://blogs.msdn.com/fxcop/archive/2006/04/27/585476.aspx) how to ensure that we could re-use List methods in our concrete implementation of a generic Collection class, whenever it is necessary. The catch there was that a developer has to remember to call base class constructor : base(new List[Address]()) to guarantee that Collection is actually a List too. To make developer's life easier, I proposed to make a generic Collection class with that special type of constructor and all the "missing" methods as well. Please take a look at http://pro-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/07/generic-listcollection-class-take-2.html and tell me what you think. Hi! Thank you for your article.
