Thanks Pat and David. I'm implementing paging (via will_paginate) and
thought I should start with a story. I think I grok what you're saying Pat
- the stories should only be looking at "externally" visible stuff - i.e.
what a real user can see or do.. That's why you consider
controller.send("current_user=",..) a bit hacky right?
So to make sure I only have 30 records showing when there's 40 in the db I
should definitely be using have_tag..
