Do async operations always run on a background thread?

@robert.ryan

this is starting to feel a bit tangential to danmihai’s original question. Further follow-up on your questions probably don’t belong here, under this thread, but perhaps should be posted as a new topic

@robert.ryan

Respectfully, I’ll keep an eye out for your other questions on this forum, but will refrain from any further discussion on this thread unrelated to danmihai’s original question.

Yes, this is why I started a new thread at Does I/O operation block its thread? . BTW I don't feel the need to continue this discussion at any forum thread, as I already received great explanations from @Jon_Shier there and from @itaiferber here.
