Thanks

Hi David:
Not being as technically versed as most list members, I've got a
question that may seem obvious to you, but I was hoping you could clarify:

Your question is to me, not David.

In what context does this statement make sense: "That rollbacks have no
chance at all of working?". Design or implementation? I'm confused
because, don't rollbacks work now? Or maybe, didn't they work at some
point? Or, is this a very specific situation that is implied by this post?

Rollback services can't work correctly.
dispatcher.addRollbackService(), specifically.

being discovered in such low-level code make me very very worried.
My point is that if you want people to respond to your messages then
you should focus on the problem and possible solutions instead of
using terms like "very very stupid" and "very poorly implemented
designs".  I don't know about anyone else but when you communicate in
this manner I personally have interest in collaborating with you.
There is also a significant disconnect in Adam's email that fails to
distinguish between designs and implementations. Most of the email
talks about issues with the design, the whole implementation stuff is
just thrown in there without details. I won't even get into the
distinction between requirements and designs, but actually my guess is
that is where Adam's frustration really is, his requirements are
different than the ones this design was meant to meet, but failing to
recognize that issue it just looks like a bad design and/or a bad
implementation.

This leaves the reader wondering... what is the issue here? What is it
you're trying to do that you can't? What is the proposed solution or
change?
