Not a good reason. If you're going to learn to use Rails, learn to *use* it, not kludge around it. Rails' routing is a bit complex, but well worth learning how to use. >> >>> and it messes with URL routing or some thing ... >> >> No, it's just a shorthand for defining certain routes.

It was not clear to me that you didn't know. Anyway, this is a perfect opportunity to ask more questions or do independent research.

Now ask yourself: I gave you some advice that was apparently not clear to you. Why did *you* bother to respond at all if it was just to complain that I didn't spell everything out for you? Do you really think people on this list will want to help you out if you come here with that kind of attitude? > you > never have any thing positive to say on any of your forum replies and > you constantly interject your own opinion on matters that were never > asked to be addressed.

I told you you were making bad decisions, because you were. I also told you how to fix the problem you were having. If you chose to ignore my solution, don't blame me. > And thats what I asked for help with if I can't figure out how to > download restful_authentication, you think I can just go and magicly > download what ever alternitive plugin you suggested. Because you can! The Rails plugin installation process is uniform.

I wasn't trashing anything. I was trying to explain how to do things better. I assumed that since you were trying to learn Rails, you actually wanted to learn to do things right. Was I mistaken? Did you just want your ego stroked? Or something else? I really don't get it. > do me a favor ..ignore my questions... That wouldn't be doing you a favor.
