This is my take on Remy's explanation:

What if the client wants to ask for 5 things?

>1. A clinet connects.

3. OnExecute determines what the Client wants and serves it.
4. On Execute exits.
5. Server restarts OnExecute. Goto 3, 5 more times.
6. Client is satisfied and disconnects.
7. OnExecute's Read() aborts, and OnExecute exits for last time.
8. Thread terminates.

Hopefully you satisfied one complete transaction before leaving OnExecute.
Entering OnExecute should happen in the hopes/context of a new transaction.
