And even that won't be safe. If, for instance, the client has been 
detached from its thread, that is its Handle property is zero, and you call
PostMessage(Client.Handle..) the handle will be recreated in the context
of the calling thread, which will likely cause an error when the component
finally destroys the Handle in main thread context.

Bottomline: Do not use this class if you ever need to access client objects
from outside their own event handlers. Instead TWSocketServer should be used,
do lengthy, blocking tasks in a worker thread.
