  * <h3>Upstream events and downstream events, and their interpretation</h3>
  * <p>
  * If an event flows from the first handler to the last handler in a
- * {@link ChannelPipeline}, we call it a upstream event and say "an event goes
- * upstream".  If an event flows from the last handler to the first handler in
- * a {@link ChannelPipeline}, we call it a downstream event and say "an event
- * goes downstream".  (Please refer to the diagram in {@link ChannelPipeline}
