I searched into google groups and my previous mention of streamline on this mailing list dates back from October 4th. It was an exchange with Fedor Indutny about testing his spoon library. This is what you call excessive promotion!
And I usually limit my posts to a one-liner (except this one). The OP was not asking how to perform a simple async operation. He had figured it out by himself. He was asking whether there was a better way. I answered his question. We should be allowed to talk about the control flow library and tools that we have written when people ask specifically about this topic. Your statement that we are "confusing new users" is pure dogmatism. I don't see anything wrong in giving pointers to people. Rather the opposite.
