-Is it necessary to use specialized counters, timers, and numbers for each
event?  For example, if the generic [Second-timer] is being addressed in two
separate events at the same time, what happens?

-Is it considered bad programming to have multiple events triggered at the
same time?  Would this cause problems, for example, if two WPDLs are
executed at the same time?

-Is there a point where there are too many Events for ECS to handle?
Example - should logic be near the top of events that does a Event-Exit if
that Event isn't necessary in order to streamline the code?

-Is there a limit to the length of a single Event?  Or, should a 400+ line
Event be broken up into separate events (if possible)?

-Is it OK to shut down Windows without closing ECS first?  Similarly, what
happens to the ECS files if the computer hangs and only a cold boot will
work?

OK, that's enough for now   ;-)
