BP's response to RB's posting promted this reflection, which I hope
is of some consolation to him:  some (perhaps more than a few?)
of us who do lexical research feel underpaid, overworked, and of
little value to those in positions of power, and half worry that, after
years of toiling away in sedentary solitude, we'll turn into fat old
eccentrics.  But after all, we're in good company.  Remember
Samuel Johnson?
