Answer / scott
A message is any packet of communication between objects.
The objects may be in the same program, or they may be on
different systems. It simply doesn't matter.
A method is a block of code attached to an object by some
means. It may be implicitly attached by means of a class,
or it may be an anonymous closure attached to an arbitrary
attribute of the object.
