I'm not convinced, earth man, that an HABTM association is really useful 
if you can have a pair of lovely has_many :through's for free instead. 
Tell your Zorg cohorts that for invasions in the 21st century, you'd be 
crazy to settle for a HABTM if you didn't need one.

I could be wrong - I got 100 out of 200 in year 11 English so the 
wizards of Australian education certainly got one up on me there - but I 
think the end result of a has_many :through association will be the same 
as your run-of-the-mill habtm. Let me know if there's something special 
about them that I'm missing.

Cheers
Nic
