 == Installing
 
-  gem install safe_attributes --force
+  gem install safe_attributes
 
-The --force flag is here because I believe rubygems to have some sort of
-dependency tracking issue.  Without it, it wants to install the newest
-activemodel (3.0.3 at this time) and arel.  These are not necessary 
-for the gem and this should not be happening.  As long as you have 
-activerecord 3.0.0 or better it should work.  Here's the error message
-in case you see it.
+If you do not have the newest version of ActiveRecord, rubygems will 
+attempt to install it for you.  This can result in an error like below.
 
   ERROR:  Error installing safe_attributes:
     activemodel requires activesupport (= 3.0.3, runtime)
 
+You can use this gem with activerecord and activesupport >= 3.0 and < 3.1.  
+If you already have an appropriate version of activerecord and 
+activesupport installed then use --ignore-dependencies to avoid this
+error.  If you have the latest version already then the gem should install
+without issue using the recommended approach above.
