# Then we have a render on the show page for the user.  For the render I'd like one of these two messages to show up depending on TRUE or FALSE (as seen below).  
# However, I also want to support with nil, and have nothing rendered to the screen if the user hasn't answered the question yet.  Maybe some "unless" in here?
