Wes,
why do you recommend the use of daemons here?
Wouldn't that just leave a load of silently running daemon
threads eating up resources after the main program finishes?
I don't see the logic of that one? I'd have thought you wanted
to be sure all application threads died when the app died?

What am I missing?
