Here's another option for you:

def root parent ? parent.root : self end

RSL: If you ever read this again, I’ve revised the code. A test showed that it was broken.

I never thought of doing it that way!

Of course if the parent is going to be nil then it's just going to be setting itself... wow.

Thanks RSL!

that root method could simply be

def root parent || self end

could it not? no idea how that's going to end up being formatted.
