Yes, I have, but that's not what I was driving at. The question is, what do you think is the difference between : (a) pressing "suspend" and walking away, while being assured that suspend will complete and leave the system ... suspended, until someone triggers a "resume" and (b) pressing "suspend" and walking away, while allowing the possibility that someone might interrupt the suspend operation. ?? Personally, I don't see any difference.
