Actually, there's no need for sleeping threads in a
producer/consumer queue,
so I'd say your Blinker is something else, like an
old-school "polling"
mechanism. Check this, for example:

    http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/threads/deadlocks
.shtml

I'd remove the sleeping from the code and work my way toward
a more elegant
producer/consumer solution, using the feedback you've gotten
so far.

Again, thanks for all the comments.  This 'Blinker' thing
was mainly
done as a way for me to play with some threading things. 
The
implementation of the producer/consumer queue is something
I'll be
working on over the weekend (so you guys can expect some
questions on
Monday! )
