timeout in ScriptService "send"

Walt,
I've been working with the ScriptService and have a comment about
the timeout used in the send method.

For my application I'd like to use the ScriptService to
perform routine observatory operations that may take a long (> several
minutes) to complete - such as moving the telescope to a "parked"
position. In such cases I believe that I really do want to block on
the send since I may want to automatically sequence other operations
after the telecope move is complete.

Is there a specific reason for the use of a timeout with the
Script Service?

Aloha,
Peregrine
