On the other hand, if you did keep it the way you want to/describe, you could do some really nice stuff with method_missing so you could write code like this: client.email = "s...@gm.com" puts client.email and have it store and retrieve the attribute automatically. That's a lot better than it would be in other languages. Cheers, Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
