my has_many has many errors!

Hi there,

I'm actually wondering why you're finding the categories that belong
to a given user in the manner that you've shown us. You've gone through all that
trouble to define your user -> category relationship why not use it?

user = User.find(1) @userCategories = user.categories

I see you're prefetching notes as well so you can add that to your
relationship declaration if you really need them.

Anyway, not saying your usage isn't for good reason but given the
context it sorta jumps out at me that you're not using the association for what's essentially
the same exact query as you're building by hand.
