If you don't want to have the thread wait for the mainthread to execute 
the event, use TThread.Queue (available only as of fpc 3.x) or 
Application.QueueAsyncCall

If you want to transfer data from the thread to the main thread and 
don't use TThread.Synchronize, you can use a TThreadList to create a 
queue of sent data records, or create an object, use a procedure of same 
in TThread.Queue or Application.QueueAsyncCall and do "Free;" as the 
last instruction of that Procedure (making it a "finalizer")
