Sorry, I missed the 'how to other peers reply?'.  The can write to the
same propagate pipe, because, after all, they're bound to it to because
they want to announce their presence.  

But reply to what?  You lost me on that one.  Presence status is sort
of unidirectional unto itself.  Everybody announces their presence,
but in my mind, it's not necessary to reply to these messages.
