I was also a bit confused by the phrase

     "something other than the non-main thread".

Is this phrase equivalent to

     "the main thread"

or are there other somethings that I'm not aware of? When I
originally saw it I assumed the same as Bruno was suggesting,
that it was a typo for

     "something other than the main thread".

Thanks for any clarification.
