Re: [ebsoa] Process-Oriented Architectures (POA)

Joe,

I just telegraphed the British Embassy and Prince Charles
is going to have a word with his mother for us.

Nice to have this hot line.  Clearly will greatly help us
fend off imposters and claimants trying to usurp our
position as the authorities on ebSOA.

You may also want to check out JJs article

Cheers, DW.
