SignalR peer-to-peer using class-less hubs idea

	// This hub is optional, it's not required for the client to work.
	// The client's call to "all.newMessage" will result in this Hub's
	// NewMessage method being called so it can persist the message.
	public class Chat : Hub
	{
	public void NewMessage(string message)
	{
	MyDataLayer.SaveMessage(message);
	}
	}
