True.

It's a pity that Synapse and friend (especially SynaSer) does does not implement internal threads that throw appropriate events in the Main Thread when something comes in (or an error appears). This is a very common request, and since the fpc-Team some time ago enabled TThread.Queue in the RTL, this is doable in a straight forward, "fpc-ish" way (portable but Delphi compatible).

The very reason I use Synapse is that it DOES NOT use threads.
Synapse is simple to use. Keep it so.

The way it is now, threads are still an option. If threads are incorporated in 
the design
there is no way to get them out again.
