The problem with class variables in Ruby, is that a class variable is the same object across all subclasses of a class. This is in my opinion almost never what you’d want. More probable is that you’d want the individual class instance to have an accessor. (Remember classes are objects in Ruby). dreamcat4 dreamcat4@gmail.com
