Hi guys

> That's only because, unlike java, obj-c doesn't have a way built into the language to enforce a class to be abstract. I can see valid reasons to subclass a singleton if that singleton is to be used as an abstract class and never be instantiated by itself.

Tell me; maybe it's my background in other languages, but I would tend to use a "static class" as a singleton; or, at least, design a class with only class methods/properties, with static "fields" declared in the @implementation section of a class.

Why this fascination with going to all the trouble of creating a singleton rather than using the "static class" approach?
