From: listrecv@... Date: 2006-03-28T00:28:55+09:00 Subject: Re: Subclasses and constants Jim, Right, that's exactly what I meant, and that's in fact the work around which I've been using. My question is really why I need to do this, and if there is a better way... It forces me to decide whether I'll ever subclass when I code the parent, which seems unrubyish... I'd rather just code the parent, and if the child changes the URL, so be it!
