Hey John,

This is great. Not foolish at all.  I think this will work great for 
this, and I have already started implementing it and it looks to work 
good so far.

All I am doing is adding to an array each signal object I create, as 
7stud mentioned, and then adding to each object till the next signal is 
reached.

I do have a quick question, I thought the way method_missing worked, was 
you could call that method using any method name, so I tried it for heck 
of it just because I never used it, i did blah(:parameter_name), and it 
complained that there was no blah method, which I thought would cause 
the method_missing method to run.  I changed the method to be 
get_val(name, *args) and it worked.

What is the role of the *args as an input? Does this allow me to ask for 
an array of parameters at once? Or is something to do with the 
missing_method thing?

Thanks again,
Matt
