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 !!!
