@darkmantiscs If we are to adopt a convention, I personally prefer "self" over "_self", given the concept of private variables (which the underscore denotes) doesn't really hold when creating a reference within individual functions.
@mauris Nothing. That's my point - you should use "self".
@stevefrost Oh, Steve - just confuse matters why don't you?
Also, no.
