ken:  I have no problem with that.

tom:  a very good idea.  I didn't implement it because of all the hair
involved.  What you are asking for is a timer on each and every zgram.
I don't know about you, but for me that can be very significant.  I
know the zserver has some magic timer code, but I don't know what
affect that would have on zwgc's size/speed/etc.  The other way to do
it would be to have a timer go off every minute (or some other,
possibly settable, interval), and go through the list of zgrams,
bashing the ones which have expired in the last interval.

warlord:  You /are/ confused.  Tom was making a suggestion.  It hasn't
been implemented yet, so you're going to have a hell of a time trying
to invoke it.
