RE: LC344#5: clarification needed

My inner pedant feels a need to dispute this point, and I'm humouring it
today.

	"MEPs don't have a concept of inbound vs outbound" 

If we consider the MEPs which have names like "in-only", "in-out",
"out-only", "out-in", it looks like they do involve the concepts of
in-bound and out-bound...

The way I manage to give some semblence of meaning to the "MEP with an
initial message" concept was, as I mentioned, to read it as "MEP with an
initial inbound message", which would mean "in-only" and "in-out", but
not "out-only" and "out-in".

Anyway, enough catering to my inner (loud-mouth) pedant. :-)

MEPs don't have a concept of inbound vs outbound .. they talk about
messages going between different parties. Of course each message is
inbound to someone and outbound from someone else.

+1.
