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

'NSNotificationQueue & NSOperationQueue thread death':
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...?
Any thread can have an NSRunLoop- it's just an object stored in thread-
specific data. Whether it spins or not (via its run... variants) is a
separate matter. When the runloop isn't "used", it isn't spinning, so
it will not respond to runloop events.
Cheers,
