Yep ;)

Do you have specific reasons? Like interface simplicity, implementation 
complexity?

How do you stop the asynch polling threads started with net::asynch_poll 
or isn't that needed?

Why should delivery of notifications from net::poll only be on 
operations started from that thread? This would divide threads to i/o 
non i/o and I won't be able to post async op from non i/o threads. Or am 
I missing some parts of the puzzle ;)
