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,

Ingo
