I will certainly call it something else now that I realize:
f = form.save(commit=False)
means to make a copy of the model without saving it to disk. I
previously (from the SO example) thought I was making a copy of he
form.
IT still isn't clear how form.save yeailds a copy of the model and not
a copy of the form.

So the follow on to that is how (if 'f' is a model instance) does the
form data get into my model instance. I am sure that there is
somewhere in the docs or at least in the code that this can be seen?
Thanks,
