What if you mark your thread as IsBackground, I'm under the impression

under this escenario the thread is just aborted.

The thread's are background threads already, but I wanted to be able

didn't want the possiblity of the thread dying in the middle of the
processing code because the foreground thread terminated.

If the threads are marked as Background they will die as soon as the
foreground thread dies.
