Since when does "emit" have a return value?
Since I wanted it to, naturally.

Actually, I was mislead by statements (elsewhere) that emit was "just a decoration for the programmer", that the signal was still "just a function call". I was actually thiking about this last night while sleeping and thinking of alternate routes of getting the data back to the connection thread.

As soon as I figure out just what you mean, I'm sure I'll try it.

Thanks again.
