Pete's wiseguy thread comment not withstanding, I'll freely admit that I'm 
usually not interested in participating in online discussions about concurrency 
due to excessive religious dogma backed by a lack of empirical data or 
experiments.   IMHO, there needs to be more level-minded experimentation, 
analysis, and discussion.  If this is what this list might be about, then it 
might be worthwhile.

Cheers,
Dave
