I have read this article and it leaves me rather more confused than not. I gather that I am missing something fundamental. Consider that when I write x.to_s I am telling the object what to give back. But then what am I doing when I write x.exists? or x.is_a?(y) or sam.authorized?(controller_or_model, action)? Is this a semantic confusion on my part? Should I consider that what I do with x.exists? is tell the object to answer a question? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
