One of the early episodes of "Enterprise" (if anyone is following
it; I saw the first few, but missed the last couple due to being too
dang busy) they kinda explained the "M-class" thing as being of Vulcan
origin. I don't remember the exact explanation, however. Will have to
dig up the episode and rewatch it....when I get more copious free time
(i.e., don't hold your breath for a while :-/ ).
