in thread Sharing sockets between the main script and thread

All of which is completely irrelevant as I'm only referring to the mechanism of transferring handles from one thread to another. Still, I've noticed that there is a propensity for some people to prefer complicated to simple.

    re complexity - no disagreement and I'm always looking for easier ways to do things. I really like the mechanism for sharing file handles via the file number and it does indeed work like a champ for me. The only challenge I had was to take the traditional socket model which tends to have worker threads doing the I/O and turn it on its head because I need a different model, at least I think I do.
