That's nice and all, but the bottom line is that it's correct - for the
message queue thread only.  Which is how it would get across to Bob&Ike
(That's one person, right?  :->).

[Technically, it's also accurate if you anticipate users having SMP. 
But I doubt too many users who have PMMail/PMINews have OS/2 Warp
Server SMP or OS/2 Warp Server for e-business on an SMP box... :-)]
