Getting Cancan's load_and_authorize_resource working within a custom create action
Trying to set up **Cancan** within an app of mine and having trouble with my `PostsController`. 

In a nutshell, when a `Post` is created I'd like it associated with the `current_user` so my create action looks something like this:


    class PostsController < ApplicationController
      before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index, :show]
      load_and_authorize_resource
      ...
      def create
        # @post = Post.new(params[:post])   # <-- covered by load_and_authorize_resource
        @user = current_user
        @post = @user.posts.create(params[:post])
        respond_to do |format|
        ...
      end
      ...
    end

I'm not exactly sure what `load_and_authorize_resource` is intended to do (other than the obvious). But what about in a situation like this? Do I need to override the `load_and_authorize_resource` for the create action somehow? or is there another (read: better) way to go about loading the `@user` and THEN creating the `@post`?
