create - creates a new instance of the model, this is especially helpful if
you are wanting to 'insert' more then one entry at a time, like looping
though a form that allows one to add more then one user at a time (for
example) It is also useful to clear the information from a model like if
you do a read earlier in the method code you might want to 'reset' it before
you 'save' your new data (like you might read the information from one user
because you use it in a 'child' user (I do this when I have to do a
ModelName->find() to get an id for an existing record)
When in doubt and you are inserting, I would say use create, it can't hurt
and it can only help
