I've long lamented the demise of the thesaurus.  Two years
ago I tried to find a good old Roget's Thesaurus only to find out
they merely print a synonym dictionary now.  Everyone is producing
synonym dictionaries now and calling them (mistakenly!)
"Thesaurus in dictionary format".  Yuck!  They aren't nearly as
useful as a REAL thesaurus.

Anyone else out there sharing this lament?  Better yet, does anyone
know where to get a real thesaurus anymore?
