Well stated! I'll shut up. :)

        The problem I have with all of this is that it just seems like
        we're putting the cart before the horse. 
        
        But of course! That's what IT does: "Here's a really cool
        solution. Let's go find a problem to solve with it!" :)
        
        The definition of what an ESB does will be ever-changing, just
        as the definition of what an application server does has been
        ever-changing. It's a fruitless exercise to try to nail it down.

        
        I disagree. There are lots of smart people reading, why not
        collaborate, come up with a definition that we can agree upon
based on
        our needs and then tell the vendors what an ESB is? We can
change the
        definition as we need it to change.
