The “client” is normally a notification system, although it doesn't have to be.

Usually, there are only two parts: The app sending, and the notification system 
receiving.

When setting up forwarding, yes, there are three parts. Normally, all but the 
app are notification systems (like Growl), with each forwarding on to another 
until the last one.

Each recipient of forwarding is a “client” in GNTP's terminology, as each one 
subscribes to the server. (This is actually backwards from how Growl works 
right now: In current GfM, you set each receiving Growl to listen generally and 
then each forwarding Growl to forward to a specific listening Growl. Brian?)

GfM and GfW are each notification systems.
