• holding that the key numerosity inquiry is the practicability of joinder
• noting that the Seventh Circuit has recognized as numerous classes of as few as 40 members
• noting that geographic dispersion cut against certification where “[a]ll but two of the class members lived within a 50-mile radius of the courthouse”
• noting that “a putative class over 40 is not inevitably endowed with numerosity status”
