    No point in even looking. It'll just be more uniformed, unfounded FUD based on nothing more than supposition and rumour.

    Yup! Just as I suspected.

        The third and fourth & fifth sentences: a) are hardly tacit agreement; b) show a profound misunderstanding about the way threads works.

        There are no "copies" of shared variables, only aliases to them.

        Threads do not emulate fork (*). There is no attempt to have the spawned thread continue from the fork point of the parent.

        (*)Though they can be used to do so.
