The acceleration would also be minute if you're sending ordinary things 
through it.  And even if that were an issue, "in the same vicinity" is 
an easy out; just move them far enough apart so that the 1/r^2 distance 
becomes prohibitive to gravitational forces, but still close enough that 
they'd be convenient.
