Every thread has exactly one run loop associated with it. You don't create run loops nor do you remove them.

Background threads, whether directly managed by you or indirectly created by NSOperationQueue, do not use a runloop by default.

Sorry for my newb confusion. I know that these are different words from different authors, but I'm having trouble reconciling these two statements. How could a thread not have or use a runloop? Nothing on it would ever execute...?
