No. When I post rants from web sites, I include the links. My .sig and my 
complaints are always mine. :-)

It's simple in the sense that you connect from your computer to the server, 
exchange a message, and drop the connection. CORBA gives you things like 
directories, proxies, data conversion servers, etc etc etc.  So SOAP gets 
the message there and back. CORBA in addition tells you where the message is 
  supposed to go, whether someone's server is working, what message you're 
allowed to send next, and stuff like that.
