I hope I'm not the only person to see how My code worked before I started the thread. Like many posts around here I asked how to make it more Ruby. The reason being that I believe the language was designed by better programmers than myself, and that wholly embracing their philosophy will bring me farther than just applying what I learned in 'lesser' languages. That might change once I transcend all implications of duck typing ;) -- Tobias Weber
