Re: ClassRegistry('init') more than once returns same Model id

The create() method appears to do exactly what I want to do.

The book says it perfectly:
"When calling save in a loop, don't forget to call create()."

Previously, I have not had to call create because I have only been
saving a single instance of a Model in each of my controller methods.

Thank you for this tip!
