[chuck-users] durations and control structures

[Timothy Sutton]

Thanks Ge, that was simple enough!

I suppose controlling shreds would involve and removing shreds around  
a central structure like this?

Once I spork one shred, can I give it a name so that I can remove it  
with chuck code?


Thanks again,

--Tm
