Yes, I read the thread up to that point, but I did not watch the video. I don't watch many videos since they put me to sleep (which is odd, since watching normal TV is no problem at all - I assume I prefer reading technical info because I can go back and re-read things I don't understand, and the information bandwidth is larger - since brains have pattern matching neural pathways, video stimulates many more irrelevant pathways, paradoxically inducing sleep). I assume videos from you and Martin would be good, simply from what non-videos I've seen from you guys, so a bad review is interesting and informative.

It appears some people are way too touchy, I would hope not to include you in that group, especially since Mladen's style is well known enough it really shouldn't bother anybody. But it appears oracle-l is closing ranks like a cabal under attack, and I can't respect that. And I still wonder why the online version serves up hot Asian chicks ads, that certainly isn't anything I search for at work or home. Not that _I_ mind, but work logs might.

I don't agree with the other's opinions about OCM by the way, it seems rigorous enough as such things go to have meaning.
