I really wish that I understood your suggestion especially because it
may be what works. I have taken the liberty of adding line numbers.
Basically, I understand the code except for line 5. I have no idea
what you are doing there. I'm not sure what the person_type and *args
are that you are passing to abstract_find. Part of my confusion may
stem from the fact that there does not seem to be and 'end' for your
class definition. So, I'm not altogether clear on whether lines 3
through 9 are suggested model code or suggested controller code.
Could you please clarify? I do appreciate your suggestion and I have
high hopes for it being my salvation. Thanks.
