I am reposting this message because for some reason the subject line did 
not show up in the previous post.

I am new to threading.  I am just now learning to use it in VB dot
net.  The two examples I have worked with have both put the threads
inside of classes, even though this seemed unnecessary and much more
complicated.  I redid one of the examples without putting  the thread
in the class and it was much simpler.

Is there some good reason to always put a thread in a class, or is
this just based on the preference of the person doing the coding ?
