Maybe all these so called "messages" should be like real messages and go
through some sort of post office... all you have to do is say "hallo I'M
application 'wombat' and I live at this address, then just wait for the
mailbox flag to be raised".  Still I bet that would make everything horribly
slow...

Still look on the bright side of life, it's not 5.4, eh?
