Well - no - I don't want to be that negative :-)

I could be very good with just some little adjustments.

I'd suggest to put into it a bit of the philosophy that -

 - an exception is a very good way of reporting some errors to the caller

 - NSLog is a very bad way of reporting errors to the caller, unless the
library is running in debugging mode

Sorry - being tired - I don't want to seem un-cooperative just because of
that ... it's "negotiable" :-)
