I don't think it was a very productive thread, and therefore it was deleted so as to not draw away from the many positive benefits of these forums.
Many of the things that were brought into discussion, IMHO, seemed either nonexistent (the fact that Steve was seen at the top of some hierarchy) or completely trivial (which books Steve enjoys reading [I myself don't read much fiction either, it just doesn't vibe with me])
This thread may as well be closed too. It, again, makes us focus on things that far from proactive. Focus on your happiness!
