    I dunno if it is.  IIRC Bob said that how he achieved the delay was to
open another thread which sent an alarm to the main thread in x seconds which,
when it gets that alarm, opens a fetch thread.

    The the alarm function is from the Windows API and the only resolution it
has is in seconds it limits what Southsoft can do in terms of timing.
