Good question, I should probably look. I was lazy and didn't go back
and audit why we were doing this. I just coded a routine that I was
certain would work. It does appear that we are processing the queue
with sk_data_read when we add a message, so this may be completely
unnecessary. I will go back and look. If we can remove this bit
things should be simpler.
