Quick tips: How to easily identify a thread in a thread object

Hello,
It´s been a while since my last post.
I´ve decided to start a new topic regarding debugging posts. It´s called quick tips debugging code and here is my first post on the series.
Sometimes while debugging an issue I have to related different threads. (E.g: on a thread there is a reference to another thread object).

So the question is: how to easily identify a thread in a thread object ?

Below is the result of issuing !do on a thread object ( my sample is based on clr2.0)
