First, I'd like to make it clear that I completely agree with Itamar 
and Andrew... I had a message composed on the plane that said almost 
exactly what they said in the last few exchanges :).

Thanks for looking at this documentation from a new-user perspective, 
Clark.

If the OS would do something sensible like give us a queue of events to 
run, we could do that.  However, the reactor already goes through a few 
contortions to create the illusion that something like that is 
happening in the background; it is difficult to deterministically say 
what the "current queue" is, especially given the surprising behavior 
of certain modules like HTTP, which register infinitely recurring 
timers.
