"Use them from only one thread at a time"

From the Apple's "Threading Programming Guide"…

"Thread-Unsafe Classes.  The following classes and functions are generally not thread-safe. In most cases, you can use these classes from any thread as long as you use them from only one thread at a time."

I'm confused by the second sentence.  Would it be correct to restate it like this…

"In most cases, although you can allocate instances of these classes on any thread, each instance must receive messages only from the thread which allocated it."

?

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
