Hardly seems like a valid excuse to me!  If nothing else, couldn't the
routine that wants the message sent, identify itself in the message?!?!
(That's what I do if there's ever any doubt.)  Meaningful messages are a key
to good problem identification!  In the final analysis, this message will
not (appear to) be sent from the routine that wants it sent anyway!  Why get
hung up on what module it's in?
