Random Error

Mind you it was 2 in the morning when I did this, but if you make a rails controller action called send (ie: foocontroller # send) and try to work on the other pages (#index) for example, you’ll get a wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) error…. rename your send method and problem solved.
