CJ3's web page was opening with thanks to Bertrand Meyer and his book ``which started it all for CEC-services'' (quote from CJ3's page). In the section "recent media coverage of CEC-services" he even referred to a link from www.eiffel.com pointing to www.cec-services.com as the only evidence of "recent media coverage". It does not really matter that TRRCJ3 was lying and such link did not exist. [what a pity that extensive coverage in alt.usenet.kooks was not mentioned] What happened: CJ3 wanted to go to OOPSLA conference (an OO conference with heavy Eiffel presence) to make a speech about himself. OOPSLA committee decided not to let him make a speech there because of his stupidity, lack of achievement and KOTM (Kook of the Month) notoriety. CJ3 was so pissed off at the committee that he now bashes Eiffel (quite ineptly) and added some of the key people behind OOPSLA to his "netscum" web page, formerly at http://redfrog.norconnect.no/~netscum CJ3 also altered his own web page at www.cec-services.com so that now he thanks some other guy and another book "which started it all". Thank you, OOPSLA organizers, for not letting nutbags like CJ3 disturb the object-oriented community.
