Hi Ross,

I haven't followed your thrad that closely, but Bill is probably
referring to the Monitor object pattern, described in the POSA 2 
book
 
   http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/POSA/

"The Monitor Object design pattern synchronizes concurrent method 
 execution to ensure that only one method at a time runs within an 
 object. It also allows an object's methods to cooperatively schedule
 their execution sequences."
