For some reason, I was under the impression that all calls to methods went through send() ... who's a silly boy, then :-) ?! So, I was expecting that when I did "fred.hello()" it would end up calling "fred.send(:hello)". Of course, this is an incredibly silly idea !! Thanks for setting me straight so quickly ... you've probably saved me an entire afternoon.
