:) :) So do I too. It was an example, and in no way intended to show  
regular practice!!!! :)

I should have given a link to that when I mentioned it. Caleb is  
absolutely right. You should never use the code I posted as anything  
more than a guide of how something like that could work, and if you  
have been misguided by me, please accept my abject apologies.

You could also look at the Ruby standard library 'delegate',  
documentation for which can be found here (Thanks Dave et al):
