Of course.  I was merely agreeing with your statement that the Transputer's 
implementation of channels did not indicate anything about the CSP 
definition of channels. Furthermore, despite the impression of the original 
poster, Transputer channels are more like your previously stated impression 
of CSP then my stated impression.  This behavior could be accessed under C 
but not under Occam (the language in which most Transputer programs are 
programmed).  I suspect that this may have been the source of confusion for 
the original poster, as Occam is so closely identified with the Transputer, 
and vice versa.
