Thanks. I didn't know how message passing is implemented. It got away
from me, while I was reading docs on that.

Those receive-statements were supposed to illustrate the order in
which I expect messages will be delivered. But you are right in that
program will receive all the message independent from the order. So it
was not very good example to illustrate what I expect =)
