Hi Hans - I’m amazed - that does not sound like someone understanding the concept of “community forums” to me.
Cheers

FWIW Tim Bass has a history of this. Here is a quote from an email in which he refused me access to the EPRAWG Yahoo Group:

“I do not want you in my working group, for many reasons. Go work in a working group where you are not going to pick fights with the lead moderator and co-chair who founded the group.”

Hi Opher - the saying which I try and keep in mind on these sorts of discussions - and of course applies to me too - is :
“Opinion is interesting… but irrelevant”. [source: Pragmatic Marketing]
Basically it means “supply the facts, or shut up”. Usually it is prefaced with “Your [opinion]…” but then it comes across as too direct!

[Opher followed up (on one of the other claims made) on his blog. More worrying was the reply there implying that the LinkedIn blog might be censuring requests to join... hmmmm who would do that and why?].

Cheers

Hi Paul. It seems that Tim Bass did not understand your British subtle humor and thought that you seriously meant that you need education from him on what event processing is…

cheers,

Opher also posted this in Tim Bass’ LinkedIn CEP blog… which has the usual interesting dialog from Tim!

Opher posted the slides on slideshare - http://www.slideshare.net/opher.etzion/debs2009-event-processing-languages-tutorial - recommended viewing for its coverage of some of the commercial CEP language approaches…
