How do you propose that sending would work?
wich calc would send first? wich next? how do they know? how would you 
guarantee that no calcs tried to send at the same time? (just listening to 
link activity doesn't guarantee that two calcs try to start to send at the 
same time)
User input is certainly the simplest yes.
Maybe it isn't worth the effort to do anything fancier...
