ned,

thanks for the response

yes yes PROXY. that's the ticket. i didn't realize that's what i'm
doing. and it acutally gives me an idea. i was looking at how ruby
creates objects and uses a proxy for mixins. wouldn't it be fantastic if
ruby supported networked-proxy objects interinsicly? think i'll suggest
it to matz.

thanks!
