Unfortunately one of the side-effects of education is to make people believe that complex things are somehow better. In kindergarten we learn that "Simple Simon" means stupid Simon, and the process carries on right up to higher degree level. Hence all those mathematical papers full of incomprehensible formulae, most of which say nothing of interest. I've come to the conclusion that 90% of people are "complicators": give them a problem and they'll add bells and whistles to it and make it more complex than it started out. I like to think I'm in the other 10%, the "simplifiers". We strip the problem down to its bare necessities, see the underlying simplicity, and get things done. :-) Dave -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
