I thought I was very rich because before that I was making $.07/lb picking blueberries. Or a dollar a day babysitting brats. I dropped the babysitting; it wasn't worth the money. /BAH

Furthermore, a subtle point, the posts haven't strayed far from the original post in terms of individual thread-segment lengths, so Google Groups tree view still nicely handles all the pieces in a narrow sidebar.
