Jason - I'm not sure who has told you that this is bad. A number of authors use this as a standard way of expressing an Instance (lower case) of a Class (capitalized).

I use this quite often as I find that the lower-cased variable actually communicates to me not only that this is an instance but also the name of the class.

Unless someone has a solid argument to the contrary, I'll certainly continue doing this.
