My question was about something different probably.

But why/how private messages are not accepting a receiver ?
Is this their actual definition?

I suppose 'main' does some tricks when I define a method "there".
It pushes it in Object private space.

Am I defining it in its singleton?

Where exactly I find myself in the "global" ?I see self.is_a? Class is 
false,so I suppose I'm not in the sigleton space.

Am I inside a method definition (o_O) defining a nested method?

Thanks for answers

Paolino
