Bill* is saying "So each time my doGet() or doPost() runs, it's in a separate method." I find that a bit confusing. Is that right? The 100/101 presentation is talking about threads, so I thought maybe he meant to say "...in a separate thread."?

He was *thinking* about saying, "... in a separate thread", but he may have had a little too much to drink the night before, so it came out "separate method" which is *technically* not wrong, but the developer formerly known as Bill (he changed his name legally to Kim) is usually more articulate than that. He *really* isn't much of a drinker, but sometimes...
