Hi David,

I'm not sure I follow you here. Doesn't the following show that it's
not just a matter of coding style?

class Foo
  def hi
    puts "hi"
  end
  private :hi
  def foo
    hi
  end
  def bar
    self.hi # will fail
  end
end

f = Foo.new
f.foo
f.bar
#=>private method `hi' called for #<Foo:0x2868198> (NoMethodError)
#f.hi would also fail as expected

Regards,
Sean
