Subject: When use self.method_name and when only method_name?

Hi all

Just a small newbie question: When calling a method inside an object, I
should always use self.method_name for good style, right? I know that I
could always only use "method_name", but it's a bit prone to errors
because I could have also a local variable called "method_name", and
when I use "self." I always call the method, and not a potentially
available local variable.

So it's always better style to use:

def validate
  self.errors.add_to_base("...")
end

instead of:

def validate
  errors.add_to_base("...")
end

Right? :-)

Thanks
Josh
