Well, the bit you are steadfastly ignoring is what i have made clear well 
before you started adding these facilities: THEY ALREADY EXISTS to a large 
degree :-)

So you were and are duplicating code instead of using and extending existing 
event processing facilities. It does not matter one little bit that the code 
you added is partly 'generic', it's still overlapping and duplicated.

Thanks,
