I can't tell for sure from your email, but it seems like you might be
expecting initialize to be called whenever you create a new instance
of your class.

>From the NSObject documentation:
"The runtime sends initialize to each class in a program exactly one
time just before the class, or any class that inherits from it, is
sent its first message from within the program."

So creating a new instance won't trigger an initialize message unless
it's the very first message sent to your class.

Sorry if I've misunderstood.
