[snip remainder of long whinge about threads]

Sounds, then, like I'd better eliminate threads from my app. In which case when 
the user initiates some action that may take some minutes to complete, he can 
just lump it when the GUI becomes unresponsive. That OK with you? Can I point 
the user your way when he gives me grief about it? Or should I just say that 
no, he can't have a responsive GUI under those conditions because some guy on 
the Internet says so?

Well that ain't gonna happen. I'll just bring my 50 years experience of writing 
software to the table, including threaded apps for PDP-11s and VAXes. It's 
called debugging.
