/*
* But wait, there's more! We can monitor posts on multiple subreddits at once (delay is automatically multiplied to keep us under speed the limit).
* If you want to see something really crazy, check out Reddit.NETTests.ControllerTests.WorkflowTests.StressTests.AsyncTests.PoliceState(). That
* test creates 60 new posts on the test subreddit (and 10 comments for each post), while simultaneously monitoring each of these 60 posts for new
* comments, all while monitoring the test subreddit for new posts. Of course, the delay between each monitoring thread's request would be roughly
* 90 seconds in this case (the delay is the number of things being monitored times 1.5 seconds), but the library handles all that for you automatically.
*
* I strongly recommend you closely examine the Reddit.NETTests project if you wish to become well-versed in developing using this library.
