Another poor soul, struck down by acute 'megalo-capitalitis'.  This strange
disease is, unfortunately, quite commmon.  Allow me to quote Dr.  Ziggy
Fraud of the Wiener Institute for the mentally 'challenged':

"Zis broplem ist kvite common viz'in mozt religionz zat zell der zalvajion
 in ze vorm of boogz and converenzez.  Bud, ze disease is not vatal and
 avter ze patientz virst bankrupzy, it is no longer dreadeneeng."

What Dr. Fraud is saying is that it's best to let time do the healing.

;-)  Please, please take none of this seriously. :-)
