I've been trying to say this:
I responded just a bit ago, but I don't see my response, so hopefully
there won't be two responses...

Essentially, Drew, you can map the column to be something else when
you call "humanize" on it.  Try this:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base

  HUMANIZED_COLUMNS = {:msg => "Message"}

  def self.human_attribute_name(attribute)
    HUMANIZED_COLUMNS[attribute.to_sym] || super
  end
end

HTH,
Richard

When I respond either through the web interface or in email, it says
it's successful (in the browser), but my answers are not listed...
this was hours ago.  Do I need to gain approval before posting
responses?
