You know how the coding style found in "The C Programming Language" by Kernighhan and Ritchie is always referenced as K&R style? Whenever I see Ruby methods defined without parens around the formal arguments I call it the Ara style in my head. I see other people use that style but Ara seems to be the most visible member of the community with that predilection. Gary Wright
