There might have been a 'personal' need but I don't think that makes it a *real* need. The ugly code was just the way it is done. Changing it was like saying "I don't like the way Ruby lets me assign strings to a variable so I am going to change it." and then you come up with something that replaces my_var = 'my string'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
