Hi Marnen, 1. These requests will be both e-mail and as well as requests through web interface.
2. These filter objects are user/account based, so they need to be persisted in database. Also, should be editable from UI. 3. I might not need state traversals. Act_as_state_machine is bit advanced at this point of time.
