Thanks for that Michal, I see what you mean. I've bookmarked it. Thanks to everyone for all the detailed replies it really helps make sense of CBV :)

I'll just chime in with a reference to http://ccbv.co.uk/, which is an
invaluable resource whenever you're doing anything with CBVs that
involves more than setting the ``template_name`` and ``model``

dealing with CBVs go away.
