So at the end it's only the reference issue? So if I launch some form on the thread, and then close the form. Does my thread (BeginInvoke or Thread.Start) returns to the thread pool?

Another thing, if I need my thread to be STA, I must create a new instane of the thread, and then set the ApartmentStyle. Meaning I can't use Delegate.BeginInvoke. Right?
