I can't say I was expecting my post to get the kind of attention that it did, and I'm glad to see some people feel the way I do. Sense of community and all.

However, the postings in other threads are probably more likely to make other people try to draw ludicrous comparisons (such as MY JOB HAS IT WORSE, which is completely beside the point. People who "have it worse" shouldn't be uncaring about other people who also aren't terribly well off) or make them act like someone has committed sacrilege against the sacred forum dynasty of ages past (you know, as opposed to just ignoring it or silently reporting it), and so it might be better for one's sanity not to post it elsewhere, despite the fact that the effort is well received!
