Actually I am happy that I did not ask a rails specific question,
since I might have missed Brian's valuable comments. BTW: I have used
the code I posted in another project of mine, which is not rails
based. And, I see it more of a discussion where I get help
rethinking/recoding/refactoring. My answer to Brian was not supposed
to sound like 'well, thanks for your post, but I use my code anyway'.
If it did, I apologize.
