that worked. I think part of the problem was that to make the queue
communications work for more than 2 people, I had to create more than one
queue, and consequently each participating user had to create a local instance
of each named queue.
It made things a lot harder to clean up. Since you have a local instance of
every user's queue, you can't rely on the queue's existence to determine if
the user is still present. so I had to make an exiting user broadcast on a
named "quit" channel so that listening connections would know the person has
left, and both would have to delete their instance of the queue.
Somewhere in that nonsense things did not work.
