Was this a "tongue-in-cheek" answer for never?

How many people is "enough"???

For some reason I have the need to say ...

parallel processing and threading
Sorry about the other post.  I'm not use to the web interface.
I need it. Not for me. but for the others.
If they had it. they would produce more code that would be more flexible 
and more usable.  I have thought of several places where lack of 
threading has caused others to simply use another language.
eh, but I'm just 1 more voice.

I fully understand the complexity of such a change.  I think from 
memory I was one (of the many people) who asked this question in the
past.
It doesn't change the fact that threads (along with exception 
handling and to a lesser extend OO) are tools that I *won't* program 
without.
