Poking my head up for a moment.  I have been watching this thread with
great interest, but didn't feel that I had much to contribute.

BTW news this morning that Marrisa Mayer of Yahoo was paid $36.6 Million for her first 6 months on the job, and she had a baby too. Now that is a role model.

This has been bothering me ever since this story started several months
ago.

What in the heck does the fact that she is a CEO and had a baby got to
do with anything?  I am sure that several male CEOs have fathered
children while they were performing their jobs.
