Just so all know this fire keeps burning -- I have invested a few precious
pages of the forthcoming Nutshell's chapter on threads (yes I _am_ still
writing the Nutshell -- when I'm not editing the Cookbook or working or
reading c.l.p, and I swear I'll drop the latter incredibly enticing but
timeconsuming activity again veryveryvery soon...:-) to sketching a
general threaded-program architecture very firmly based on Queues (with
a couple reusable classes wrapping up a thread object and a couple of
reference to Queues).  [If any true threading expert such as Aahz or Tim
should want to have a look, I'll happily send a sneak preview of the
chapter, of course -- just get in touch, you do know my email:-)].
