Fetch.func1().func2() => Fetch is a class that has a method func1().

Fetch.func1() returns an object that has the method func2(), therefore you can invoke func2().

Well there is no gurantee in this notation, but one may assume that Fetch is a class, func1() is a static methid of this class which returns an instance of another class, and then method func2() is invojed on the instance of the result of funnc1()

Thanks. Never mind for the program bug that remained (oops) after I removed some lines of code that would be confusing.

I'm glad it makes sense to you now. Gets my day off to a good start.
