Because, Marnen, what is utterly obvious to you ... what you know by
experience or having read it somewhere, is something new to me.

And I explained that the restful code does email authorization. This is
a fair amount of code for ME to write.

It may be easy for you. It is a huge undertaking for me.

There is state logic that I need to maintain (e.g. "email not
confirmed") that I am not comfortable maintaining.

There is security code (e.g. the URL the user clicks on) that needs to
be generated and responded to ... more state information.

The restful code sample ...
http://code.google.com/p/simply-rich-authenticator
... uses "Acts As State Machine". Is this independent of the restful
authentication and is it wise to use this in the Authlogic code?

I have read your advice. You have advised ... without much background
... that authlogic is better. But is it better in the case where a
more-or-less complete application has already been generated?

While you are obviously knowledgeable, following you advice without me
having the appropriate background is difficult.

It appears to me that you have forgotten that it is the simple things
that cause the greatest confusion.
