Re: TRM - Morbidity has set in, or not?

Funny things happen to threads about TRM.

I remember one thread about its aptness in disk-based environments. It ended in lots of mutual accusations being slung round and about. "You don't know what you're talking about", "You say these problems have been solved but you do not show anything material to convince the outside world", "You make faulty assumptions and then criticize the model for the consequences of your own assumptions, which are flawed." "The only response you have is "trust me, it's no longer a problem", while in the rest of your work, you always require rigid formal proof."  That kind of stuff.

I remember adding a post to that thread bringing on the subject of concurrent updates. I wanted to point out a possible problem in that area, and asked if anybody else had either also spotted the problem, or could explain why it is not.

That post was never responded to, after a few days it was bluntly removed from the thread (!!!), and yet another few days later all of a sudden the entire thread was gone !!! Received on Mon May 22 2006 - 06:37:45 CDT
