nested resources revealing users id

[fugee ohu]

Seems undesirable for everyone to know your user id from a nested resources url that looks like /users/5/posts/4 Anyone can advise?

How do you expect Rails to work?  If your route is /users/:id/posts/:id the ID of the object must be passed as a param.

Seems a reason not to use nested resources and also not being able to pass objects with redirects so using nested resources i'm getting caught up fooling around with flash to render the errors
