Rails - Jan 2008 - Relating models question

Hello All,

Basically I''m trying to create a model relationship that is used to
link (I''m hoping to call it Follows) one model to another. I was
hoping to use a polymorphic relationship so I don''t have lots of
tables.  A structure like below is what I''m shooting for.

User.follows.[Model]

Where Model is any model that can be followed.  I''ve tried a bunch
of :though, polymofic senerios, but just can''t seem to get it to work
as desired.

I would like a User to Follow any other model.  Seems like this should
be easy to do in ActiveRecord.

u = User.find(1)

c = Category.find(1)

u.follows << c

then

u.follows.categories would give me all the categories a user follows.

Anyone come out there tackle something like this ?

Thanks
