Thanks, Conrad.

I thought since we're on Rails 2 there'd be a better way.  But I guess
that scaffold is going to be deprecated soon,  so core members don't
want to do any more work on it.  Too bad, because it's a way neat to
get a concept-demo fast and amaze prospective clients.

Best wishes,
Richard
