Umm.. Mr Lambert..

It's OK. I'm not offended.
If I confess, I felt a little uncomfortable, because I understand pretty well this kind of stuff but he put an emphasis by saying "mess". But we are talking in a text based media which doesn't convey facial expression or tone of voice. So, based on my experience with chatting programs, the speaker may not have any intention to offend. So, I'm a kind of neutral. Probably it was his style of talking but.. you know.. it didn't sound harsh in a jungle with full of male creatures. :)

I appreciate your concern though. :)

Scott, it's not that any one thing is hard to get correct. Arrogantly calling someone stupid, as you've done here, doesn't help. It's the subtlety of getting *everything* correct. A GUI system, and the programs that are layered on top of it, embody a great deal of complexity. Allowing multiple threads to operate on the GUI causes this complexity to permute.

    Ouch. If you think that's a problem, then trust me, you would
    really make a mess with multiple UI threads.
