Hi Mark, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Very interesting.
Quick first response: It appears there is a problem similar to that of the Uncertainty Principle in quantum mechanics, where one cannot observe the system without changing it. I went to my existing app that was open in Livecode to look at the pendingmessage, and it appeared to mje that my observation will change the observed.
