<div><font face="Calibri">Hi</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Calibri">I was attempting to do a bit of refactoring. I had
one model class, in which I had defined a few operations. Then along came a
second one, where I wanted the same operations, so I started to create a common
base class for them, which naturally inherits from
ActiveRecord::Base</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Calibri">Now, I get all sorts of errors, and it looks like rails
is taking the base class name and assuming it'll find a table relating to it,
which in my case it won't.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Calibri">Is this somehow supported, or should I be using a
module/mixin instead?</font></div>
