Atleast provide some sort of indication what checking what means?  Does it 
indicate inclusion or exclusion?  (When I read "filter", I automatically think 
"filter out", not "filter in")  And provide some row/column headers -- as it 
is now, sure, the columns indicate accessibility and the rows indicate... that 
other thing (name escapes me) -- but the interface is fairly bewildering.
