  * controlled intervals.
  * This has a much better chance of surviving random processes getting killed
  * by the hosting provider. 
- * A lot of this code is duplicated in include/deliver.php until we have time to go back
- * and re-structure the delivery procedure based on the obstacles that have been thrown at 
- * us by hosting providers. 
+ *
+ * The basic flow is:
+ *   Identify the type of message
+ *   Collect any information that needs to be sent
+ *   Convert it into a suitable generic format for sending
+ *   Figure out who the recipients are and if we need to relay 
+ *       through a conversation owner
+ *   Once we know what recipients are involved, collect a list of 
+ *       destination sites
+ *   Build and store a queue item for each unique site and invoke
+ *       a delivery process for each site or a small number of sites (1-3)
+ *       and add a slight delay between each delivery invocation if desired (usually)
