What's the difference between the publish log and the receive log? #307

Unclear on the difference in intended purpose between them. If someone could elaborate please, that would be helpful.

From my recollection, the receiveLog is where all the message are actually stored. The publishLog is more or less a thin wrapper that takes a message content value, builds the rest of the message (sequence number, signature, etc) and puts it onto the receive log. Does that help?

@keks I think so. I'll have to read through the code again with that in mind. Thanks!
