Yes thank you.

Part of my problem is I wasn't feeling sure about how I would use processes or 
threads, and why.  With the advent of the new Chrome Philosophy, I was thinking 
perhaps processes might be the way to go, as I was doing curl executions, but it 
turns out I need to do a surrounding sequence of things in parallel for 
initializations and closures, so I am leaning back to threads now, which I think 
solves the problems.  I would sure like to find a book just on use of threads 
and processes in Ruby. I would think a knowledgeable person could probably write 
at least 12 chapters on it for the layman alone, and not having done some of 
this for over ten years, that's where I'm feeling I'm at.

Thank you again for the feedback.

Sincerely, Xeno
