btw, all classes are implicit descendants of TObject. If you don't
specify any base class, the class will be derived from TObject directly:

type
  TMyClass = class
    procedure Something;
    ...
  end;

TMyClass is automatically inherited from TObject

Both postings sound like this wasn't clear...
