keeping a connection open 'just in case'.

OK, so suppose you're a sender.

Your best friend is a queue manager.

You've just finished sending a message. Now you send a message to tell your best friend you're done. Do you, or don't you, keep the connection open just in case your friend has more work for the same connection? How long?

Haven't you ever told someone?

       "Hey, I only have two hands!"

:)

The issue is when you have 5, 10, 20, 30, 100, etc friends doing the same and you reached a capacity (not enough hands) not only to handle your friends but also unknown people trying to just send you one message and has no interest to wait around any longer.

Its cool if its prearranged among a few friends, but I doubt you be able to do this with all your friends. :)
