I don't think it matters if the conventions make sense or not. If possible, you should try to use them for the following reasons:
1) If another programmer who is familiar with Rails starts maintaining your site, they will be annoyed that they have to figure out what you did instead of already knowing how it works. 2) If you have a subtle problem and ask this list, no one will have any idea how to fix it because no one else will have done it your way. 3) If you start maintaining another Rails site, you will have to learn the convention anyway, so why learn two conventions? 4) The next version of Rails might change something that breaks your site. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
