Hi Eric,

Sorry for the late reply--haven't been able to keep up with the list
traffic.

I hadn't considered any of the Rinda stuff because what I'm trying to
model is queues.  The solution that I have in place with the
TimedReadQueue and the ThreadPool (slightly modified) works.

Not knowing much about the Rinda package, I assume the Renewer critter
is some sort of implicit interface used by Rinda to determine if it
should timeout or close the stream?  Overall, I guess it just proves
that there's always more than one solution to a given problem. :)

Thanks for all your help with this.  I'm sure I'll have more questions
as I get further into Ruby.

Cheers,

ast
