	The "*BAD* Music Reorg blah blah blah" thread in news.groups
(and other places) grew so fast these last few days (it's recent enough
that the root of it hasn't expired here) that I figured I just had to
graph it.  So I pushed 't' in trn.

	Numbers and letters show where the subject line changes; "( )"
is where it hopped out to another newsgroup and then back (or an article
was cancelled or otherwise missing from news.groups.)

	Behold, the mighty Tree Of Life.
