[Messaging Design Pattern]

Thomas,

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate it. Actually the messaging design pattern deals with this type of messaging. The messaging model is not limited to a specific modality of messaging (sync, async fire-and-forget, etc). You raise a good point since we probably need to make it more clear in the document. We'll address it shortly. I'll forward a revised version of the paper.

Feel free to send any additional comments/concerns that you may have. 

Regards,

Ed

The big flaw I see here, right off the top, is the assumption that messages always have replies.  There are many examples of fire-and-forget messaging.
