Fred, Thank you so much for the reply, and it was a great one. Did not know about that and you broadened my knowledge of extend vs. include and included. I had only been using modules to extend instance methods, but this opened up a new world. From your answer, I was able to remove 5 lines of code from 12 models and can now manage the function from just one location (rather than having to fix 5 lines X 12 models--tedious!).
Honored to have you respond, since I know that you have given many, many hours to responses over the years, and they have always been top quality and educational. How about writing a good Ruby book with some Rails 3.1 goodness? You can call it "Fred's Ruby Tips & Tricks". I'd buy it.
