Is it OK to "[self release]"?

The only time I've had occasion to do so was in an -init method, where initialization failed and I needed to avoid leaking memory. Other than such a situation, sending -release to self is very unusual.

Yes, I have noticed that!

Well, my idea is to have a quite independent object that does things in the background (and is kept alive either with timers or with threads) and when it is finished it kills itself.

Like writing something like...

[[[MyWorkingBee alloc] initWithWorkDesc:info] runInBackground];

...and then not caring about it any more.

Bad idea?

Bye, Wolfgang :-)
