Aaah It seems the example in the wiki is wrong :-\

Like I said you must match the arguments
the example adds a "Key" arg to the Add method and that is wrong.


And it seems you did not understand at all.
if you run Me.Clear() in the classes Clear() method it will loop ,
Me.Clear() IS Clear()

Public Sub Clear()
  Me.Clear()
End

Is the same as,,,
Public Sub Clear()
  Clear()
End

You must understand..
The class has inherited another class so it has all it's properties/methods
by default. (Me.)
Any properties/methods you are *NOT* overriding you can use Me.
you will see the inherited classes objects.

if you *HAVE* made your own override for a property/method then using Me.
will be your own override not the inherited class. You will use Super. to
access the inherited objects.

Does that make sense?
