Can I initialize and run the ros C++ client code in it's own thread?

I'm thinking of creating a thread, and in the thread initializing ROS, then having my main loop run there.

I can't see why not, but I thought I'd ask before venturing there. If there is any general guidance on using threads and ros, that would be appreciated.
