I know, but as I don't have anything I want to mutually exclude access to, I don't want to use the (by all accounts very expensive) mutex mechanism. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
