Depends on what you want to do.  I have a number of programs where Thread 1
contains most of the processing for the process; e.g. it might contain a
DosReadQueue to ccept work that other threads actually perform.  It's very
common to have thread 1 act as the 'controler' thread and have it assign
work to other threads as necessary.  Then again, I have a few applications
where thread 1 does it's thing and then goes away.

Any thread can create a Queue but any other thread in the process can access
it via the QueueHandle.
