Left Side, Right Side

Never refer to two software components as 'The Left Side' and 'The Right Side'.  The name will stick, and resist any attempt at change.  The underlying debugging componets for the CLR are loaded into both the debugger and the debuggee.  I remember which is which by thinking about how it should be named, then remembering the runtime guys named it backwards.

Yes, is this from the inside-monitor viewpoint or the outside-monitor viewpoint?

Your explanation is a little lacking. Am I supposed to use osmosis to understand it fully? (Or can you cite a SLAR page #?) ((Or worse yet, do I need source code?))

Upon timeout, I'll just consort with Karnack the Magnificent and his mayonnaise jar!
