Is anyone else bothered by this as much as I am? I hate them, they look like such a waste. When you have a base class that your inheriting from and it requires some arguments via its constructor but your derived class does not require anything upon construction, your required to use the derived classes constructor as a middle-man who's sole purpose in life is to just pass the arguments to the base class constructor, leaving you with an empty derived class constructor body.

This to me is a tragedy:

Code:
public class Manager : Employee
{

   public Manager(string name)
      : base(name) { }

}
They drive me insane sometimes to the point where Ill think of something, anything, to pass to the derived constructor to assign to a field, or call a function, or something just to make it do something other than act as a middle-man. Anyone else have this "disorder"? haha
