It is very good to have some unbiased views on things. But in reality singleton classes, yes that is what I prefer ;) are very simple because you really never care too much about their inheritance. The more I work with Ruby the less I care about inheritance in general. Cheers Robert -- Si tu veux construire un bateau ...
