Spawning threads is something I do almost as a matter of course in my programming. I don't know what I would do without doing that.
I would never, of course, dream of grabbing a request object, or similar things, and holding it in a new thread. I would never, ever, anytime dream of doing that. Yuk! As those who have noted my submissions to this list will know, I am big on state management outside the request, page, session and application scopes and this seems to almost necessarily involve threads in the solutions my head devises. I also make extensive use of Doug Lea's work which is essentially multi-threading. Like everything else, you can code threads well and badly. I guess the upshot of bad coding with threads is particularly serious, so you don't want newcomers being assigned these tasks?
