Re: That triggered a memory...
Well, since this is Usenet, from the point of view of a reader those messages were both cued and queued. He's not wrong.
(Argh. This has made me want to find an excuse for using "cue" and "queue" together this way in a paper. "This event cues request processing, which will append responses to queue Q. The depth of Q is a clue to the cue distribution, assuming the cue rate over long periods is not greater than the queue-consumption rate for Q. If the peak cue rate is low enough that excess responses are never queued we say Q is 'cute'; otherwise we will need to find a mechanism for reducing cue spew and thus the depth of Q too."
