Little Hawk, that's kind of nit-picking. I was not saying that Bill Gates, the person, is worth $90 billion, as contrasted with a lady I know of who lives in her car with two small children, who, in those terms, is worth no more than the small salary she receives working at a nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken drive-inn.

Actually, in purely material terms, they're both worth about $1.75 if chemically rendered!

I don't think anybody means that. It is merely a shorthand way of referring to the size of their bank account or other holdings, if any.

I don't know what point you were trying to make with this, other that you seem to be implying that I said something that I did not.

The rest of your post is right on point.
