[LRUG] A feature of Rails callbacks i wasn't aware of - anyone else?

[Max Williams]

That's very interesting, thanks Glenn.  It looks like this discussion
already happened a year and a half ago :)

I'm a little confused reading that as to whether they're talking about
controller filters or model callbacks though:  the talk of redirecting
sounds more like controller filters, whereas i'm talking about model
callbacks.
