I took the liberty to edit your last posting.  The h-i.
Jack. (hereafter referred to as t "h"-word.) is likely to be picked up by any 
number of 'patriot' governmental agencies.
So while "h"-wording of threads is technically impossible to dis-allow--it 
certainly is not condoned.

I also consider the "B" word as highly offensive.  That would be "B_U_G."
I have noticed over 60 occurrences of this vulgar, vicious word on this very 
list.
"BUGS" is a four-letter word in anyone's book.  While someone might point out 
that 'b-u-g' is a three letter word--they never
travel alone.  Once one is found, there are most definitely others lurking in 
the background.
When one's technical implementation imprecisely matches one's problem-space 
(both real or imagined), one should 
identify it formally and rigorously and not resort to cavalierly tossing around 
the obscene and highly profane "B" word.
My advice is manifold.  First, become a soft architect.  They can easily pawn 
off slight inaccuracies in their design as
boring implementation details and in some rare instances have the programmer 
shot.  But good coders are hard to find--
they're all selling pencils on some busy urban street-corner--cursing the 
open-source movement under their breath.
But if you have to actually be unfortunate enough to be responsible for getting 
all the bits in the right places at the right
time--i.e. a coder/programmer/designer--SOFTWARE ENGINEER--then my advice would 
be--don't put b-u-g-s in your code.
I'm sorry for stating the painfully obvious, but maybe it never occurred to 
other beginning IT hackers.  Just don't do it.
These are not a desireable language feature.  Once you use them you'll then 
have to waste even more time learning to
use a de-louser.  Once you admit to being adept at de-"B"-ing then any number 
of people will actually expect you to
fix their code.  I give some similar advice to golfers.  Don't hit your golf 
ball into the bunker (sand trap).  I don't
understand this.  Even players on the PGA Tour, (even TW sometimes condescends 
to visit a trap--I guess he needs the practice) ,
players who should know better, insist on hitting their balls into sand traps.  
Why would they do this?
Sorry to be off topic.  If you insist on populating your source code with b's 
at least have the decency to place these into a plug-in so
that others might not have to see the offending code, besides they'll run 
quicker and maybe no-one will notice.

De-interacing 1080i--that sounds like a boring, technical detail.  I'm a film 
director.
