Is there any way to have a method spawn a thread, then wait for that thread to end before continuing with other calls in that method? Does this negate the purpose of threads?

If the caller never has anything else to do, then yes it sounds like a waste of effort to do threading.

If the caller has other work and then needs to wait, it would normally (i.e. in pthreads) use a "pthread_join" function to synchronize. I'm too lazy to check whether there's an equivalent function for Cocoa...I'd probably just use Posix. :-)
