Jen: Aack--tell me we have longer than a week or so to finish 
reviewing and this is your "best case scenario" prediction for MEG, 
right CW? Even with no alcohol, a fresh batch of Diet Coke and 
tootsie pops, my reviewing speed is, *ahem* less than blistering. 

Could I get a pay-raise? 

What is the trick I'm missing? Sean whips through posts like a hot 
knife through butter, but it seems the more I do, the more that 
needs to be done. Like if I keep post A coded to a chapter, well a 
couple of posts up and down the thread that *didn't* get coded need 
to be added for thread continuity. Or an entire thread is coded to a 
chapter, but really only the first two posts pertain to it. Where is 
my trusty sword? I used to slice and dice with great abandon, back 
in the day....

It finally happened...I'm a LOON. Look for my LOON-like proposal on 
chapter coding once I put a stake in GOF. 

Jen, reaching for Carolyn's aforementioned ice-pack and wondering if 
she's making this too hard, and whether it's time to chuck it all 
and try Kneasy's four basic food groups....
