Dan,

Greg you have been "ignored" because you are a troll. You have a total of 23 posts here. I have near 5000! You are both incorrect and insignificant.
As I stated, condescending.
The fact that I choose to spend my free time away from computers doesn't really have any bearing on what I know or what I've said.
I don't recall there being a relationship between quantity and quality regarding forum posts. Most forums always have a few people who feel their (often newfound) knowledge is so unique and authoritative that they post to almost every thread...
Please enlighten me and post a link to anywhere on the Internet that says something similar to your statement 'there are no properties in Ruby.'
Same thing goes for the statement 'Most methods return new objects.' By the way, you use the word 'new.' Since you've mixed it up before, are you referring to a new object like material.color, or a reference to a child object like Sketchup.active_model.entities?
You've misused many programming terms that have relatively standard definitions, and, as I've stated previously, you conflate Ruby and the SU API. I'd suggest you do some reading and join some other programming forums/lists.
BTW, my 'Design Patterns' book by the 'Gang of Four' is 2nd printing. I think it's currently at the 40th (or more) printing. Do you have a copy?
Greg
